[Eril-l] COUNTER TR_J1 and newspapers

[Karlsen, Jeffrey]

TR_J1 is “Journal requests.” It appears to me that most vendors do not include newspapers in this report—newspapers appear in the TR master report but not TR_J1. At least one of our vendors, though, NewsBank, does include newspapers in their TR_J1 data. Are they wrong to do so? Would it be better to exclude the NewsBank TR_J1 reports entirely when reporting on overall TR_J1 numbers? We only have a newspaper collection from them—there may be a few journals included in the collection, but it would be minor, and we have very large NewsBank numbers from e.g. our local newspaper.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
