From: Mark Hemhauser <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2016 14:57:17 -0800 Many of our Gale databases have seen a decline in use between 2012 and 2015, but some have seen an increase.

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?
