Announcing a new LITA webinar: Beyond Web Page Analytics: Using Google tools to assess user behavior across web properties. Tuesday March 31, 2015 11:00 am - 12:30 pmCentral Time Register now for this webinar <http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=olweb&Template=/Conference/ConferenceList.cfm&ConferenceTypeCode=X> This brand new LITA Webinar shows how Marquette University Libraries have installed custom tracking code and meta tags on most of their web interfaces including: • CONTENTdm • Digital Commons • Ebsco EDS • ILLiad • LibCal • LibGuides • WebPac • and the general library website. The data retrieved from these interfaces is gathered into Google’s • Universal Analytics • Tag Manager, and • Webmaster Tools When used in combination these tools create an in-depth view of user behavior across all these web properties. For example Google Tag Manager can grab search terms which can be related to a specific collection within Universal Analytics and related to a particular demographic. The current versions of these tools make systems setup an easy process with little or no programming experience required. Making sense of the volume of data retrieved, however, is more difficult. • How does Google data compare to vendor stats? • How can the data be normalized using Tag Manager? • Can this data help your organization make better decisions? Join • Ed Sanchez, Head, Library Information Technology, Marquette University Libraries • Rob Nunez, Emerging Technologies Librarian, Marquette University Libraries and • Keven Riggle, Systems Librarian & Webmaster, Marquette University Libraries In this webinar as they explain their new processes and explore these questions.
