圖書館網站評估

圖書館設置網站之後，為了瞭解使用情形與提昇網站的效能，有必要對網站進行評估，本論文介紹了利用網站工作記錄來作為評估資訊的方法。這種量化的方法具有客觀和經濟的優點，可以配合調查研究法得到更實際的評估。在本論文中，我們介紹了網站工作記錄的格式與從中抽取的訊息，並以一個大學圖書館的網站作為例子，實際分析在網站上的一些使用情形。從例子中，可以發現網站工作記錄上的資訊與網站使用者的特性有密切的關係，因此是相當重要的評估資料。

After a library establishes its web site, evaluation is very important to understand the use of the web site and to improve the site performance. This paper introduces an evaluation method using the information extracted from web log files. This quantitative method is objective and economic and can be used in conjunction with other methods of survey research. In this paper, the format of web logs and the information that can be extracted from them are introduced. We also present an example of log files obtained from a real web site established by a university library to analyze the use of the site. Analysis of this example points to a close relation between the information carried by the log files and the use of the web site. Therefore, analysis results of the log files are important to evaluate a web site.
