Using Web Server Logs to Track Users Through the Electronic Forest
by Karen A. Coombs

Thanks Librarian.net for the link to this great Information Today article on using server logs to track where library users travel on library web sites. Whether open source software or commercial tracking packages, librarians need to use these measurements (with surveys and usability evaluations) to improve access for users. Good links to other articles!
