Hi Tim,
This development looks like an excellent tool for comparing usage across
different IRs. What would be even better(!) would be the ability to
compare full-text usage not only across IRs but with usage data from
publishers. How does IRStats fit with the COUNTER
(http://www.projectcounter.org/)code of practice?
Cheers
Simon

Dear all,
We are happy to announce the beta release of the IRStats package - a
tool
for
analysing usage of institutional repositories.
http://trac.eprints.org/projects/irstats
Please see the examples page for demonstrations of IRStats:
http://trac.eprints.org/projects/irstats/wiki/Examples
Headline features:
- Agnostic to repository software - support for EPrints and (beta)
DSpace
- Aggressive filtering of robots and other automated agents (using
AWStats
and
bespoke techniques)
- Analyse groups of eprints based on a simple CSV-format specification -
by-author, by-school etc.
IRStats is released as Open Source under a BSD license.
(Note: currently IRStats requires ChartDirector, which has a free trial
available - see the Installation notes)
