[Eril-l] E-resource Usage Drop?

[Grossman, Jeffrey]

Hi Mark,

A lot of wild swings for our resources, but usage about the same as last year despite some major cuts. There weren’t many patterns in the changes either. Decreases and increases in database use didn’t seem to track with any one discipline, level, or type.

Somehow, as crazy as 2020 was, I’m not surprised.

Best always,
Jeff

As I gather data for usage of e-resources for our ACRL survey, I’m wondering if others are seeing a drop in usage numbers?  I expected usage to be the same or more but I’m seeing a dramatic drop in our numbers.

Thanks
Mark
