We have the statistics that come with the DSpace distribution setup for our
IR <http://smartech.gatech.edu/> at Georgia Tech and are looking for ways to
get more information out of it. In particular I am interested in getting
information per item, possibly bitstream, in terms of how often it was
viewed/downloaded. In addition it would be interesting to see which
collections/communities generate the most interest. And of cause filtering
access from IR administrators/robots or even from within our library would
be very useful.
I believe providing individual view/download stats (how often. from where)
could be a BIG selling point for researchers/departments. This is info they
do not usually get when they put their docs on their web sites and certainly
is something one would like to brag about if the numbers look good.
I tried to install the MinHo package (unsuccessfully, I make a separate post
for that) and had a brief look at the package from ANU.
Can anybody give a quick opinion on the difference between or similarities
of these packages ?
I understand that both packages keep a record of transactions/interactions
with a dspace instance inside the instance's database. Our instance receives
quite a bit of traffic, this month we already had 140,000 itemviews and
100,00 bitstreams views. Collection, community views and Searches are all
comparably few ranging between 7,000 to 16,000 this month.
- How much do I need to worry about the database growing and growing
and growing ?
- Is there a facility in the stats package that purges old log records
?
- Is there a way to request holding aggregate information instead of
detailed interaction info ?
- I understand that statistics are generated on the fly on the basis
of up-to-date info from the database. If that is true: How does that impact
response time when generating stats-pages ?
