Libraries have always been good at measuring our physical visitors - we have
gate counts, circulation statistics, program attendance, and more. But what
about our online visitors? Are we counting them? And how? As more of our
users move to our online services, measuring their impact becomes
increasingly essential. Beginning this year, the Public Library Survey from
the California State Library asks libraries to provide accurate "virtual
visits" statistics, including the use of the library's website, catalog, and
other web presences. Many libraries need a bit of a boost when it comes to
measuring online visitors, and to simply understand what it is the survey is
asking for. Sarah Houghton-Jan, experienced webmaster and Library 2.0
expert, will share with you the best way to easily gather accurate "virtual
visits" statistics. Attendees will come away with a clear understanding of
the survey request, knowledge of both free and commercial web analytic
software options, customer privacy and data retention issues, and resources
for more information. Capture your library's true full use with easy to
implement tools!

Speaker:  Sarah Houghton-Jan.  Sarah is the Digital Futures Manager for the
San Jose Public Library. She also spends time contributing to LITA's Top
Technology Trends Committee, teaching for Infopeople and other
organizations, presenting and training for libraries internationally,
writing for library and technology journals, and this past year she
published her first book-length piece: Technology Competencies and Training
for Libraries. You may know her better from her blog and alter ego: the
Librarian In Black <http://www.librarianinblack.net> .
