Many of our Gale databases have seen a decline in use between 2012 and 2015,
but some have seen an increase.

Hi:

We are in the process of assembling usage statistics for our online
databases for the period 2012 to present.  We are noticing a significant
drop off in apparent usage for all of our Gale databases from 2013 to 2014.
This makes me think that perhaps the vendor changed something about how they
"count" somewhere in that time period.  I can -- and will -- reach out to
Gale about this, but also was curious to find out if any other libraries
have noticed a similar phenomenon?

Thanks for your help,
Heather
