Measuring and Evaluation
• Statistics– usage– activity
• Indicators– user behaviour
• User surveys• User contact
• ROI• Benchmarking
Bergen, 24th September 2010 12
We need both measuring and evaluation!

Web statistics - Questions
• Which pages are most and least visited?
• Difference between the user groups?• How is the user behaviour?• When was the news released?• Are all the web pages counted
correctly?

Databases
Different types of databases need different types of statistics
Example 1:Journals/E-books (full-text)
- search - downloaded and opened articles
Hits are not interesting

Databases
Example 2:Special databases (e.g. Statistics, Company
information, Finance, Law):
- logons- ”jobs”
Number of variables is not interesting

Databases - Challenges
• Do we get the correct numbers? • Not counter compliant statistics from one
year to another from the same vendor• The database is primarily for business use -
not for libraries• Is this the most appropriate database?
21Bergen, 24th September 2010
![Page 22: Bi cmi 240910](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a4e5631a28ab36748b46f8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Numbers may not tell the truth…
• Decreased use is not always negative– improved search tools– more qualified user– another user group– research projects (limited time)
• Low use is not necessarily equal to minor resource
• High use – low satisfaction (and low use – high satisfaction)

Guidance
We have to be there!– Information desk– Ask the library– Book a librarian (skype or phone)– Online tutorials– Self check– Telephone– Chat– Training– Social networks

Guidance and Service
• Not easy to count• Not easy to tell how important it is• Not easy to tell the impact on the results• Not easy to evaluate the quality of the
answers • What is enough service?
• Did they really get what they wanted??

Evaluations
• User contact– dialogue meetings– focus groups– contact librarians
• User surveys– user satisfaction surveys
25Bergen, 24th September 2010
![Page 26: Bi cmi 240910](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a4e5631a28ab36748b46f8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
User Surveys/contact – do they tell the truth?
• Level of satisfaction– do they find what they
need?– is this the proper database
for their subject?– do they know the content of
the database?
• Impact on the work?
• Database use: why - why not?
User surveys give qualitative information!
But: You have to ask the right questions!
