<description><![CDATA[<p>This forum has been created in response to a series of questions that Phil Vandermeer has raised at our business meetings for several years: How do we deal with the niche online products related to popular music? </p>
<p>Some more specific questions: How do we gauge whether they are being used? How do we determine how they are being used? How do we encourage their use when their content doesn’t integrate well with discovery layers or when they fall outside the traditional article database format that our users are accustomed to? What’s a good use case for keeping or a good argument for cancelling a subscription when prioritizing limited budgets? Are you looking at usage stats, and which ones are meaningful?</p>
<p>I'll be starting discussions on a cluster of resources where we can discuss these questions and ideas. Suggestions and new topics are welcome.</p>
