Automated means of gathering usage statistics
Yoon, Sunny 01 Nov 2005 19:07 UTC
Dear All,
I have had more than one person ask me about our own processes for
gathering usage statistics to see if any automated means are being used
for collecting data, and I have always replied that we do it the
old-fashioned, labor-intensive way. There are automated monthly e-mail
reports as well as publisher/vendor maintained sites where we go to
collect usage stats that are then input into our in-house Access
database.
Does anyone out there have a less labor-intensive and automated means of
gathering usage data? If so, please share with those of us who are
still stuck in the Dark Ages.
Thank you so much,
Sunny
