[WEB4LIB] RE: academic web administration

[Chan, Ian]

A thought occurred to me while reading the responses to this topic:
How many libraries out there are tracking hits/traffic to their web pages?
And has anyone been comparing these numbers as a percentage of overall
traffic for their parent institution?
