Hi Derrik,
We have fund codes that help us narrow by discipline. Do you have something like that in place that designates for which discipline a journal is purchased?

Subject: [SERIALST] Journal usage by discipline?
Dear collective wisdom,
A reference librarian here has asked me for a list of the most heavily-used journals in a particular discipline. I told her that usage stats are reported by platform, and that I’m not aware of any way to pull a usage report that is sorted
or filtered by discipline. We have a usage collecting tool to combine all the platforms into a single report, but again, no way to filter by discipline. It would have to be a title-by-title lookup.
But my colleague’s request seems so reasonable that it makes me wonder if I’m missing something obvious. Do any of you know of a way to get a usage report for a specific discipline, or sort/filter a usage report by discipline?
Thanks!
Derrik
