[Eril-l] E-resource Usage Drop?

[Hinchliffe, Lisa Janicke]

I’m curious if these drops are across the board or not. One hypothesis I’d have is that a vendor that opened up their platform for free access is going to see drops because users then didn’t have to authenticate and so their use isn’t attributable to a particular library/institution. But, if the drops are across  the board, that would be evidence against my hypothesis.

Best,
Lisa

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
