It’s been 3 months since my last update and a lot has been happening within the Talis Prism 3 world during that time. We have seen a major new release which included Improvements in display of availability information, Admin Console beta release, New Stock/Prepared Searches beta release and the option for libraries to use their own hostname for Prism 3.

We have also seen a further 10 libraries launch Prism 3 to run in parallel to Prism 2 or as their sole catalogue, taking the total number of libraries running Prism 3 to 27.

Having implemented Google Analytics on all live Prism 3 tenancies at the end of March I thought I would share some of the statistics around Talis Prism 3 that are available to us.

During April we saw 104,961 visits to Prism 3 catalogues. A total of 668,306 pages were viewed and the most accessed catalogue was the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama http://prism.talis.com/rsamd which had around 21000 visits. We also saw that across all catalogues Talis Prism 3 was accessed from a total of 86 different countries.

Google Analytics provides detailed statistics on a per customer basis which you can access by logging into your individual Google Accounts.

If you would like guidance in understanding and interpreting Google Analytics at your library or would like it installed on your catalogue please contact Imraz.Mohammed@talis.com

You can keep up with the latest Talis Prism 3 news and developments on the Talis Prism 3 website and blog. The next development update webinar will be held on Monday 24th May, details can be found here.
