Annual reporting and evaluation of web statistics/analytics
Assessment happens intermittently and informally for selected projects. Annual metrics may also be gathered for
internal reporting purposes or for reporting to member or consortial organizations.
But not comprehensively only a few collections have been assessed for success and use.
For specific collections, but not across the board
Foresee online survey other user surveys
There has been informal assessment of the IR, especially in the collection scope and in the workflow of releasing
electronic theses and dissertations.
This assessment was the result of usability testing on the digital asset management system, not on the collections
themselves.
This included assessment to support integrated data management/curation support by the Data Management/Curation
Task Force and to support digital scholarship projects and needs.
We assessed our institutional data repository in 2013. We are planning some usability analysis in anticipation of a
redesign of our document repository.
We have performed a number of activities throughout our organization, including installing Google Analytics on our
repositories, generating reports and analyzing use and user understanding of certain access points, and building
guidelines for setting digitization priorities.
Yes, with respect to metadata normalization and reformatting, not an assessment aimed at use or usability.
No, but we plan to N=3
Has not been done on library-wide basis, but has been done on individual project basis.
Outside of the aforementioned platform review of 2010, no, not really. We have done this only on an ad-hoc basis,
i.e., one collection may be evaluated or assessed because of an inquiry (such as from a donor). We hope to be more
programmatic in our approach to the collections as a whole.
We have not assessed the impact of previous projects (beyond grant funding reporting requirements) but we have
created a preservation plan to be implemented moving forward. Plans are for an evaluation of the impact of our
digitization projects in the next two years.
No N=1
Nothing systematic.
If you answered Yes or we plan to, you will continue to additional questions about those activities.
If you answered No, you will skip to the section on Digital Collection Outreach and Promotion.
