[Genealib] Statistics and the Bottom Line

[Becky Hill]

You might also consider your web site statistics if your genealogy and local
history department have a presence online.
Many requests are answered by the web site section especially if you have a
lot of historical content online, so hits/page vies/visitors in that area
might be considered reference questions answered or visitors.

Kathy and all,
We also collect zip codes.  This shows where our patrons are coming from.
Our local tourism office is very interested in those figures.

Hello,

I have been asked to use my genealogy collection usage statistics to justify
my budget. I would like to know what statistics everyone uses to do the
same. We use our "In-house Count" since our collection does not circulate.
What other stats does everyone add to the in-house counts to show usage.

Thanks so much
