Usage of electronic journal in an academic consortia environment provides an interesting result on the pattern of user's behaviour. The paper is an attempt to identify the pattern of user's downloading behaviour through COUNTER complain usage statistic 2011 by adopting Pareto 80/20 rule. UGCInfonet consortium is UGC-INFLIBNET initiative that subscribes to 19 publishers of aggregators, society, and commercial publishers. The result of the study indicates that Pareto 80/20 rule applies to publishers whose journal bundles are more in number when individually publishers are analysed. But contrastingly, consolidated usage on all the journals when put together demonstrates a closer 80/20 pattern of usage.
