Federal Depository Library PURL Referrals: Statistical Information RequestGPO has developed statistical reports of PURL referrals to enable libraries to determine how often documents within the Federal Depository Library Program Electronic Collection are being accessed through library catalogs and Web pages. GPO asked depository librarians to register their domain names so the report could be as comprehensive as possible. Registering your domain names is completely voluntary, and the information will be used only for providing you with statistical information. Please note that in most cases domain names are not library specific, but rather are shared by the institution at large. For this reason, referrals in the monthly report are listed by institution. Similarly, when a domain name is shared by a consortium, the referrals are attributed to the consortium, as it is impossible to tell which referrals came from individual members. These reports are posted at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/coll-dev/referrals/ on a monthly basis as soon as the data becomes available and can be processed. If you need assistance in determining what information to submit, contact Joe Paskoski at jpaskoski@gpo.gov.
