ERL on the web - the 2008 review

As usual at this time of year I start totalling the stats I've compiled throughout the year and reviewing the usage of the library sites. It's been a great year for the library website. Our overall visits to the front page of the website hit half a million for the first time (574,341) and there were 61,008 searches of our Who Writes Like database. We've added some branch blogs which the staff have enjoyed updating and have started podcasting our author visits. I've compiled a Top 10 and thought I'd share with you all:

Top 10 Eastern Regional Libraries sites for 2008

10. 4 Kids Fun & Games (9133)
9. Teen Online Fashion (9609)
8. What's New @ your library blog (10463)
7. Job vacancies (12851)
6. Contact us (12928)
5. Email and Search (14202)
4. Teen Online Games (15823)
3. Using the library (20939)
2. 4 Kids Science (24025)

and

1. Find a library (34053)

I hope you've found our web services useful. I'll continue to look for ways to improve the service and offer great new resources.

Cheers, Maryanne
