communications is based
It would be very helpful if those of you who have access to the data
could reply to the following 3 questions:
(1) How many refereed journals does your library subscribe to? (By
subscribe, I mean either Subscription (S) or License (L), on-paper or
on-line, or both.)
(2) What proportion is that,
As usual, Andrew Odlyzko, the first to quantify such questions, has been

The relationship between the number of times an article would be used
if available under optimum conditions (click-through access from the
catalog, references, or indexes, exactly as subscribed journals are now)
and the number of access it has under conventional interlibrary loan is a
complex
