SOLR StatisticsDSpace - 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:
If you want to see totals for a specific community use:
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:
or for a collection:
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/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.
