  abstract = { <p>Traditionally, usage figures for electronic serials have lumped all years of publication together. New tools give librarians information about usage according to the year of publication. They allow us to analyze the usage of current material separately from usage of content published in prior years. The relative value of current subscriptions and backfiles has important collection development implications. For example, many libraries subscribe directly to titles that are offered in aggregated databases, but with embargoes. The relative value of current content distinguished from prior years may be useful in reevaluating such subscription decisions. This paper discusses tools and techniques for analyzing usage by year of publication according to several measures{\textemdash}including COUNTER{\textquoteright}s JR5 report, Google Analytics, ILL reports, and token reports, and discusses how librarians can use these tools to aid in decision-making about serials collection development decisions.</p> },
