Navigational design of a library Web site affects the user\u2019s ability to find and access content. At Albertsons Library, the goal of the navigational design of the Web site is to mimic user behavior on the Web site to help them access information and articles from over 300 different library vendors. Coordinating with different vendors makes tracking the navigational flow of user behavior difficult with the tool Google Analytics. Using the events feature in Google Analytics, the team responsible for Web design was able to track user flow, and was able to quantify how many users were actual \u201cdrop-offs\u201d versus those that were clicks into library resources. Decisions made after acquiring these data resulted in a Web site with a 10 percent or less bounce rate, and decreased the number of clicks required for users accessing the library\u2019s content. <\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Tracking-User-Behavior-with-Google-Analytics-Events-on-an-Academic-Library-Web-Site.pdf\">Tracking User Behavior with Google Analytics Events on an Academic Library Web Site<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Tracking-User-Behavior-with-Google-Analytics-Events-on-an-Academic-Library-Web-Site.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>\u4e0b\u8f7d<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\" id=\"mce_0\"><strong>NLPIR SEMINAR 26th ISSUE COMPLETED<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>        Last Monday, <strong>Asif<\/strong> gave a presentation about the paper, <strong>Tracking User Behavior with Google Analytics Events on an Academic Library Web Site<\/strong>, and shared some opinion on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_20190506_-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6920\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_20190506_-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_20190506_-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_20190506_-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_20190506_-200x150.jpg 200w, http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_20190506_-80x60.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Events features can help make sense of the bounce rate, which is a metric often  used to make decisions about library Web sites. Bounce rate and drop-offs both indicate  the same behavior and are two terms that are defined somewhat similarly with a  few small differences. A bounce rate is the calculated percentage of those who engage  in the behavior and drop-off of the site. Bounce rates can be different from drop-offs  as a user can drop-off after looking at several pages, but a bounce rate is primarily  measured after the user looks at one page and subsequently drops off.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Unload: Individuals leave the site (a real drop-off)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NLPIR SEMINAR Y2019#13 INTRO In the new  &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/2019\/05\/05\/tracking-user-behavior-with-google-analytics-events-on-an-academic-library-web-site\/\">\u7ee7\u7eed\u9605\u8bfb <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":862,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,38],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6901"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/862"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6901"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6901\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6921,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6901\/revisions\/6921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
