RPI uses them to help inform subscription renewal decisions. We find them very helpful, although often very frustrating. - Pat

Subject: [ACQNET-L] Ebook Usage Statistics - do you use them for anything?
All
Over the years, I have attended several sessions at ALA and other conferences about collecting ebook usage statistics. Those sessions always seemed to be focused on how to collect or the mechanics of collecting, not how to use the statistics.
Is anyone using ebook usage statistics for collection purposes? Weeding purposes? (Currently we are not removing any ebook titles from our catalog). Decision making purposes?
I am trying to determine what useful, actionable information I can get out of my ebook statistics.
