Geoff,

We use Google analytics on our website but I am curious as to how you use it within the OPAC. Can you elaborate or put me in touch with someone who could talk me through installing it there?

Thanks,

We use google analytics to track website usage information within the OPAC.  I'm not sure that this technically gives you exactly the information that you've asked for specifically, but it would be a rough indicator of such.

I have a feeling the information could be gathered through logs, or something to that effect, but I don't imagine many people would want to do that.

I'll let someone else chime in though, there are far better sources of information on this list than myself!

Thanks,

For the Annual Report, I have to provide a count of OPAC use within the library.  Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions? What do you do at your library?

Thanks,

The Evergreen community is pleased to announce the release of version
2.8.0 of the Evergreen open source integrated library system.  It can
be downloaded from

http://evergreen-ils.org/egdownloads/

New features and enhancements of note in Evergreen 2.8.0 include:

* Acquisitions improvements to help prevent the creation of duplicate
orders and duplicate purchase order names.
* In the select list and PO view interfaces, beside the line item ID,
the number of catalog copies already owned is now displayed.
* A new Apache access handler that allows resources on an Evergreen
webs server, or which are proxied via an Evergreen web server, to be
authenticated using user’s Evergreen credentials.
* Copy locations can now be marked as deleted. This allows information
about disused copy locations to be retained for reporting purposes
without cluttering up location selection drop-downs.
* Support for matching authority records during MARC import. Matches
can be made against MARC tag/subfield entries and against a record’s
normalized heading and thesaurus.
* Patron message center: a new mechanism via which messages can be
sent to patrons for them to read while logged into the public catalog.
* A new option to stop billing activity on zero-balance billed
transaction, which will help reduce the incidence of patron accounts
with negative balances.
* New options to void lost item and long overdue billings if a loan is
marked as claims returned.
* The staff interface for placing holds now offers the ability to
place additional holds on the same title.
* The active date of a copy record is now displayed more clearly.
* A number of enhancements have been made to the public catalog to
better support discoverability by web search engines.
& There is now a direct link to “My Lists” from the “My Account” area
in the top upper-right part of the public catalog.
* There is a new option for TPAC to show more details by default.

For more information about what’s in the release, check out the
release notes, which can be found at

http://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/release/RELEASE_NOTES_2_8.html

To add a personal note, many people have contributed to this release,
but I would particularly like to thank release manager Bill Erickson
for his work on this release.

Regards,

Galen
