Regarding the highlighted areas of Web Analytics and <br />Community Outreach, Connie noted that these two stats were new. Connie <br />recently learned how many times the library page is visited and the statistics <br />from the count would be in the next month's stat sheet. Also, Community <br />Outreach has never been tracked before, and Connie has asked the staff to <br />begin counting this vital element of the library's day to day business. <br />
