The document discusses various projects and initiatives at Cowles Library related to analyzing and managing their journal collections. It describes tracking usage of electronic databases and individual journal titles. It also outlines projects to identify print journals that can be withdrawn now available digitally through JSTOR, analyze the journal collection using tools to identify titles to add or cancel, and transition print subscriptions to online formats where there is sufficient demand. A new journal cost containment policy is introduced to flag titles whose prices increase over 15% annually for review.
