Zusammenfassung:	The collection of e-journal data has been ongoing for a number of years. However, the experience in many libraries has been mixed with regard to the actual utility of these data beyond basic measures.

A team was formed in January 2013, and was charged with gathering data to inform decisions related to Elsevier products.
