Assessment:Analytics
The DLF Analytics Subcommittee is working to draft out how best to capture analytics about how digital library content is accessed.
In December 2014, we began to draft a set of high-level types of data we want to capture with analytics, such as:
- Referrals
- Search terms
- Number of users
- Number of accesses
- Number of downloads
We also began to define a set of content types, as those may impact the capture of analytics. Examples include:
- Institutional repositories
- Licensed resources
- Digitized unique content
- Datasets
- Finding aids
- Websites
And we also realized that different audiences may need different information gathered. Here's our first draft of potential audiences:
- Administrators
- Content selectors
- Metadata providers
- System administrators
