Abstract

With an abundance of digital library projects of all types and sizes, a common practice is for larger institutions to host digital collections for smaller ones. Many institutions use analytics data to inform their digital collections projects; have the larger host institutions established standards for sharing analytics data with smaller contributing institutions in multi-institution projects? This literature review of articles published between 2009 and 2019 (with selected earlier articles included) seeks to understand what data hosts provide and how contributors use this data, with an emphasis on promotion, metadata, and contributor engagement. The authors analyzed the articles against a framework of six research questions and concluded that there was little information on sharing analytics data. Further assessment of contributor needs and attitudes about analytics is warranted.

摘要

随着各种类型和规模的数字图书馆项目数量众多，通常的做法是让较大的机构为较小的机构托管数字馆藏。许多机构使用分析数据为其数字馆藏项目提供信息；较大的主办机构是否制定了与多机构项目中较小的贡献机构共享分析数据的标准？这份对 2009 年至 2019 年间发表的文章（包括选定的早期文章）的文献综述旨在了解数据主机提供了什么以及贡献者如何使用这些数据，重点是宣传、元数据和贡献者参与。作者根据六个研究问题的框架分析了这些文章，并得出结论，关于共享分析数据的信息很少。
