Subject: vendor-provided usage data

Is anyone systematically collecting vendor-provided usage data for
electronic journals and databases and aggregating it into a spread
sheet or database? The MIT Libraries are putting together a project
and we'd like to hear from anyone who is doing this. Thanks,

p.s. We have seen the piece by Joanna Duy and Liwen Vaughan about NCSU
and the problems with vendor-provided statistics.
