Apologies for cross posting Dear colleagues I would be grateful for any comments about how you use e-journal usage figures when making decisions about renewals. We are currently reviewing individual e-journal purchases, rather than packages, and I'm dividing the renewal price by number of downloads in the past year to get a cost per use. Does anyone have a tried & tested method that works for them?
