Diplay in HTML Display in TXT

Statistics are generated on the first of every month for activity during the previous month.

About the TXT files:

  1. Use the browser's "Save As" option to save the .txt page as a file to your PC. The data in the .txt file can then be imported into other computer programs, such as Excel, for manipulation.
  2. The pipe symbol "|" is used as the delimiter to separate the number of views from the collection alias, three-letter institution code, or reference URL, respectively.

Total Collection Home Page Views
This represents the number of times that a collection's home page was viewed during the given month. For months prior to the publishing of a collection, the collection will appear in the output, but the number of views will be zero. The format of the results is:

      Collection Alias      number of views

On-Campus vs. Off-Campus Collection Home Page Views
These represent the number of times that a collection's homepage was viewed from on-campus and off-campus, respectively. For months prior to the publishing of a collection, the collection will appear in the output, but the number of views will be zero. The format of the results is:

      Collection Alias      on-campus number      off-campus number

Saskia Art Images Collection Usage On-Campus by Institution
This represents the number of times Saskia Art Images Collection items were accessed by a user on-campus at a particular institution. There is also an entry for all off-campus item hits. An institution will only appear if there was a view from that campus; no entry means that there were no hits from an institution that month. The format of the results is:

Items Viewed in a Single Collection

The format of the results is:

      Clickable image thumbnail or reference URL      number of views
