Historical Google Analytics Usage Reports for CARLI Digital Collections, 2011-2015

The Created Content Committee examines usage quarterly reports created by the Google Analytics tool for the CARLI Digital Collections site as a whole. These reports are used to identify trends amongst the visitors to the Collections, what they are looking for, and how they come to visit the site. The reports were first developed by the former CARLI Digital Collections Users' Group.

CARLI Digital Collections maintenance, 6-9am

On Sunday, Nov. 1, 2015 from 6am - 9am, searching and browsing in CARLI Digital Collections will be unavailable due to software maintenance and rebuilding of all collection indexes.  

Direct links to digital items and collection home pages will be available during the maintenance, but all Searches and Browse Collection attempts will result in the message "Your search retrieved no results."  This includes use of the options on the CARLI Digital Collections home page to find collections by institution, by media, and by topic.

Topics covered include:

Metadata Matters Webinar Series

What matters? Metadata! Shareable metadata, preservation metadata, data dictionaries, OAI-PMH, EAD, METS, MODS, Dublin Core, and everything in between. Whether you're a cataloger or digital librarian, an archivist or administrator, if metadata matters to you (and it should!), join CARLI’s Digital Collections Users’ Group as we explore metadata with a series of informative presentations and discussions on a variety of metadata-related topics.

Digitization Quick Tip: Share your collections at the Virtual CONTENTdm Users' Meeting

The CONTENTdm user community is hosting an all-virtual meeting and is looking for participants for brief presentations. Want to show off your digital collections, but no time to prep a formal presentation? Share tips, tricks, or just something fun about your CONTENTdm website with the global community of CONTENTdm users during the first-ever Virtual User Group meeting on November 7, 2012. Though we have proposals for a full slate of excellent in-depth talks, we do have several slots available in our lightning round, which will feature a series of 5-7 minute talks/demos.
