dear all,

In general I am not impressed by the number of accesses to a specific  
journal or the statistics of downloads.
I remember having seen an interesting figure of the (top 10 or more)  
highest numbers of dowloaded articles from a publisher: several were  
articles of our institute authored by our own staff!!
This shows that downloads are not only because our staff need access  
to information, but use the convenience of the online archive for  
providing copings to their colleagues (replacing the good old  
reprints....).
Also I remember me verifying the bibliography of my institute: at that  
time there was a peak  showing there were in a month more than 300  
full text downloads (this was in the early days, a couple of years  
ago. These examples to proof that not all downloads are the  
replacement of ILL.

If journal titles are never accessed and have no downloads at all,  
then it is time to have a detailed look and wonder why.

Personally I prefer to check the journals in which my staff publishes  
and the journals they cite in their articles.
