- I use to count check-out slips for journals, until we automated. Then
- the automated circulation statistics would send me a daily count.
-
- Also, I would have the student assistants collected journals that were
- used in the library (but not checked out). These were counted and
- added to the statistics to reflect a more accurate usage count.
-
- Items were counted by journal title, not issue or year. This
- unfortunately has been used to help decide journal cuts, when out
- budget were slashed. :(
