We discuss the use of web metrics at four digital libraries, the Instructional Architect, the Library of Congress, the National Science Digital Library, and WGBH Teachers' Domain. We describe practical issues involved in implementing and using web metrics to track web site performance. We also report on the focused data mining of web metrics. Using session length as our example, we recommend that this metric, which was developed to track e-commerce, be reconsidered when applied in non-e-commerce settings, such as digital libraries. We conclude by discussing some of the limitations and possibilities in using web metrics to analyze and evaluate digital library use and impact. Copyright 2008 ACM.
