The Athens stats for the first quarter of 2009 are in, and they’re on the Portal now for L&LR colleagues to view.
No great surprises in store – though the graph [below] does suggest a sharper-than-usual fall from 2008/4 to 2009/1. Perhaps we should expect this as a feature of higher usage at peak periods: that the drop-off in use of e-resources during quieter periods will be more pronounced.
We’re still up 18% on the same quarter last year.
