Abstract
The provision of usage data for e-journals in standard format introduces an innovation in collection management practices within libraries, establishment of distribution policies for library consortia and frame-work of scholarly impact measurement. However, utilization of the usage statistics for consortia is disrupted because each publisher generates and transfers the large-scale usage reports in its own way. Thus we have implemented an automatic collection and visualization system of e-journal usage statistics in this paper. In addition, consortia package subscription data has been integrated into the suggested system. As the result, we have obtained 7,539,083 journal usage reports of 359 institutions from thirty-one publishers. By analyzing the usage statistics and cost, we have found out four major issues on use of STM e-journals distributed through KESLI consortia.
