Hello everyone,

We from CAPES Consortium are having many problems when consolidating 
data collected from our publishers. The major cause of these problems is 
that when we ask for a report from one publisher it sends us report 
containing data from titles that we don't subscribe. An example occurs 
when some of our members has contract with publisher out of consortium 
scope. As an analogy, it's like if I request a bank statement and it 
lists to me transactions of others who live in my house. Because of 
that,we are having tremendous difficulty to calculate our usage indicators.

Since numbers are distorted, we don't have an accurate usage measure, 
even having a lot of statistics collected.

Shouldn't mechanisms for delivery of statisticsbe oriented just by the 
contracts (either via web site or SUSHI),instead of be oriented by a 
collection of IP addresses or a particular collection arrangement at the 
publisher side?

Thanks,
Luiz Augusto
