Stats

​How do review my statistics?

A link to your Stats dashboard is in the banner at the bottom of your BiblioGraph domain page.

What does our Stats Dashboard include?

The Stats Dashboard provides statistics and a log console for BiblioGraph libraries. The dashboard provides information about the number and type of agents accessing the library catalog from the "borrow it" buttons on item pages.

Find your Stats Dashboard at https://stats.tools.library.link/domain/[your base url]/

For example https://stats.tools.library.link/domain/uga.library.link

You can also navigate to the Stats link at the bottom of your domain pages.

How often are Stats updated?

Statistics are tracked daily and updated monthly. To see the most recent stats, select the last calendar month at the top of the dashboard. Stats for the previous month will be published by the 5th business of the following month.

What clicks are counted from Google?

Your Stats Dashboard shows borrow action clicks from Google, including Search, Books and other products that use Google’s Knowledge Panels.

Currently undergoing maintenance:

The stats module is currently upgrading different modules. At this time Library.Link Applications, Open Libraries, Social Media, and Embeds are unavailable.

What clicks are counted from the Open Web? What all falls into the other category?

Under the "Open Web / Other" category, your Stats Dashboard shows clicks that are unattributed to dedicated syndication services that we do on behalf of Libraries. These may include users that find Library material via search engines on the Web or other new ways in which applications are using LLN data that aren’t yet tracked.

Borrow Action Clicks from the Open Web and Other Places

A library’s catalog is often hidden from traditional web search engines and 3rd party applications. Library.Link Network data pages provide reference-able, discrete access points to every aspect of the library’s catalog (Person, Place, or Thing) and are made available to such tools on behalf of the library.

How search engines and 3rd party applications act or utilize this data is different depending on the service provider. Borrow action clicks that are unattributed, such as those found via search engines, are included under the "Open Web / Other" category. As we see patterns associated with increased usage, these may be aggregated together under existing (or new) groupings.

Where can I get more details?

Monthly details of all Borrow Action clicks associated with link domain is available via a downloadable CSV file. Click the "Download CSV Log" to get more information. Here is an example from Dallas Public Library:

This to discover with a CSV file download includes but not limited to -

  • Date and time of clicks
