I have a link on one of the branch library's home page so students can check 
the availability.  They also have a mobile app for it.

We also gathered logon/logoff stats and projected them against the 'actual' 
head counts on certain days.  These days provided sample data based on which we 
extrapolated the 'offset' of people using computers (sometimes several of them 
sitting in front of one PC but one person is logged in) versus the individuals 
present at the given time.  Then, based on that offset and knowing the number 
of logins we were able to roughly estimate the number of 'actual' individuals.

If you are interested in more details, please email me directly at

Hope this helps.

Hi Brian,

I use SpiceWorks for tracking computers, aside from an excel inventory 
spreadsheet.

For statistics, we have PC-RESERVATION and LPT:One installed on all computers 
that print for the public.

Stats that is collections:

1) Total Sessions
2) Average Length of Sessions
3) Total time of sessions

The print side:

Jobs printed on each printer
Jobs cancelled at release station
Jobs cancelled at computer
Jobs never picked up [deleted at 12 hours in age, after close].

Hope that helps!

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Usage Statistics Question

Code4lib Team,

I was curious what software/systems other organizations are using to track 
computer usage statics in their computing labs and what stats are being 
collected?

Thanks,
