Stephen Klein replied to the topic Event tracking with Google Analytics in the forum LACUNY Emerging Technologies Committee via email 5 months, 3 weeks ago

I recommend using AW Stats to track database usage. It ‘harvests’ EZproxy logs.

Junior Tidal replied to the topic Event tracking with Google Analytics in the forum LACUNY Emerging Technologies Committee 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Years ago I setup event tracking for eResources. It didn’t become useful until recently, when we converted all our proxied links to shortened URLs. It’s much easier to see what databases are being clicked on.

Stephen Francoeur replied to the topic Event tracking with Google Analytics in the forum LACUNY Emerging Technologies Committee 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Thanks, @robincamille! That gave me some ideas that I’m testing out on our Faculty services page. I think that thinking strategically about the scheme of categories and events is going to be a big deal for me, as the choices you make define the kinds of reporting you can get out of GA. The thing I’m wrestling with is how global a category might be…[Read more]

Robin Camille Davis replied to the topic Event tracking with Google Analytics in the forum LACUNY Emerging Technologies Committee 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Funny you should ask! I just set this up for our library website.

Currently, we are tracking clicks only (as the event actions), focusing on the homepage’s elements.

Category: tab box

Labels for everything: “Databases dropdown – articles,” “OneSearch button – books,” “Help – media,” etc.
The “- books” denotes which tab it’s in, since the…[Read more]

Stephen Francoeur started the topic Event tracking with Google Analytics in the forum LACUNY Emerging Technologies Committee 5 months, 4 weeks ago

We’ve got some basic event tracking set up in Google Analytics for the library website at Baruch, but I’m interested in rolling out a more comprehensive scheme that will give us much richer data on clicks and other interactions. Is there anyone here who has set up a system of categories, events, labels, and values in Google Analytic event tracking…[Read more]
