[WEB4LIB] Collecting Stats.

[Shirl Kennedy]

Here's ours:  http://www.clearwater-fl.com/about.html#2  The only thing
anyone seems to be interested in so far, from an institutional standpoint,
is the total hit count.  (Our Web site stats are for the entire City.)
Before our tourism department died a quick, painful death last month due to
budget cuts, I prepared a special monthly report, as they were interested in
when the site was getting the most traffic and from where most of the users
were coming.

> I am interested in finding our what different library report. We are going
to start reporting stats from our web site, however we are not sure what to
report. We use WebTrends software to produce our reports. We are thinking of
reporting the "User Sessions" insted of "Hits". What do you think?
