Dear Frances, Anecdotally speaking, I know our collections web site is heavily used by our staff but the numbers also support this. We have filters to exclude staff traffic from our analytics, so a process of deduction gives us the following figures for the month of November 2012:
Staff visits to "Search the Collections": 3,393 Staff page views during these visits: 56,421 (may include some non-collections pages) Staff pages per visit: 16.63 By comparison, the overall pages per "Search the Collections" visit is 6.99 in Nov 2012. Hope this helps!
