The DLF Analytics working group has been active since 2014. Early on, the group decided their goal would be to draft a set of high level metrics to track using analytics. The group eventually decided to scope their efforts around the widely - adopted Google Analytics service. The resulting white paper, "Best Practices for Google Analytics in Digital Libraries" is now available.

Next Steps
OLD PAGE CONTENT:
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
