This is a bar chart of e-journal usage (full-text downloads, using COUNTER JR1 reports) at my university over four years. What the heck happened in the spring of 2012? Everybody became super-users of our e-journal content. It wasn’t just one resource or collection getting increased usage, it was over our entire e-journal collection. This kind of anomalous spike in March, April, and May 2012 makes me feel a little like grumpy cat because I can’t explain the reason for it.
