Agenda:

• Statistics
  • We agreed at the October meeting that DSpace statistics will be the topic for this meeting. Tim Donohue will join us for a few minutes to provide a brief summary of DSpace statistics.
  • Gathering DSpace statistics at Willamette with DSpace, SOLR, and Google Analytics.
    
    SOLR Statistics
    

    
    

    DSpace - Items
    To get total items added in DSpace over a specific time period we use the SOLR statistics.

    
    Mount DSpace so you can access the SOLR interface: 

     ssh -L 3004:lib-solr.willamette.edu:8983 dspace-new.willamette.edu

    
    Using Firefox use this query for items added to a specific collection over the last fiscal year: 

    http://127.0.0.1:3004/solr/search/select/?q=location.coll:3df605c7-99a6-476d-aec8-45b49a5dc803+AND+dc.date.accessioned_dt:{2022-07-01T16:22:19.291Z%20TO%202023-06-30T16:22:19.291Z}+search.resourcetype:Item

    
    If you want to see totals for a specific community use: 

    http://127.0.0.1:3004/solr/search/select/?q=location.comm:3cd75dc2-5730-4735-bebc-17faa96ebf24+AND+dc.date.accessioned_dt:%7B2022-07-01T16:22:19.291Z%20TO%202023-06-30T16:22:19.291Z%7D+search.resourcetype:Item

    
    To get total items for a entire collection or community just drop off the date restrictions.
    DSpace - Views 
    To get total views of items in a DSpace collection over a specific time period we use the SOLR statistics.

    
    Mount DSpace so you can access the SOLR interface: 
     ssh -L 3004:lib-solr.willamette.edu:8983 dspace-new.willamette.edu

    
    Using Firefox use this query for views of a community:

    http://127.0.0.1:3004/solr/statistics/select?q=owningComm:64d2467a-c6a9-4ad3-bd13-35b493c03775+AND+time:{2022-10-25T16:22:19.291Z%20TO%202023-10-25T16:22:19.291Z}+AND+isBot:false+AND+statistics_type:view+AND+type:2

    
     or for a collection:

    http://127.0.0.1:3004/solr/statistics/select?q=owningColl:0c8557e0-4461-4702-a97d-fc568870d1ce+AND+time:{2022-07-01T16:22:19.291Z%20TO%202023-06-30T16:22:19.291Z}+AND+isBot:false+AND+statistics_type:view+AND+type:2

    
    for the DSpace instance. The "type:2" limits the query to items.
    
    
    DSpace - Built in Statistics
    Any community or collection, you can just drop in the word "statistics", after the base URL. For example:

    https://digitalcollections.willamette.edu/statistics/communities/64d2467a-c6a9-4ad3-bd13-35b493c03775

    https://digitalcollections.willamette.edu/statistics/items/17b17fe4-4846-4762-980a-9df033d1e770
    
    
    
    Digital Collection Views - Google Analytics
    In Fall of 2018, we switched interfaces of the Academic Commons, and also changed how we were tracking usage with Google Analytics, now using Google Tag Manager as well. In each of the year summaries, we will now include an overall usage for each of our now two applications DSpace and ArchivesSpace.
