Does your library track reference statistics?  If the answer is “yes” (or even “possibly in the future”), then check out the READ Scale website.  Their system for categorizing and recording reference transactions via a 6 level hierarchy is both straightforward, yet powerful.  They even provide a guide for implementing the READ Scale at your own library.

Review : Directory of Open Access Journals (Pdf), by Heather Morrison is a very good introduction to what is becoming a top-tier collection of journals.

Although some of the statistics are a bit dated (due to a strength of the DOAJ – they are adding journals fairly rapidly, and are currently past the 3,000 mark) the review hits the mark, making a great case for libraries to connect their patrons with this excellent resource.
