Kathryn,
This is somewhat of a complicated question. I would refer you to conference presentations and journal articles about these topics.
We decide we gets renewed or cancelled by groups of subject librarians reviewing usage, cost per use, core title applicability, and availability of pay-per-view.
Yes, we review usage reports, both for electronic and print. Please explore “unique” in COUNTER 5.
Subject librarians are primarily responsible; however, they do consult with faculty.
The final decision is made by acquisitions subject to a final, final decision by administration.

How does your library manage/process its annual journal renewal?
How do you decide what gets renewed or cancelled? Format changes?
Do you review usage reports from all the various publishers?
Are faculty and/or subject librarians involved in the process?
Who makes the final decision?
