ABSTRACT
Evaluation of digital libraries assesses their effectiveness, quality and overall impact. In this paper we present a novel, multi-level logging framework that will provide complete coverage of the different aspects of DL usage for user-system interactions. Based on this framework, we can analyse for various DL stakeholders the logging data according to their specific interests. In addition, analysis tools and a freely accessible log data repository will yield synergies and sustainability in DL evaluation and encourage a community for DL evaluation by providing for discussion on a common ground.

Users' evaluation of digital libraries (DLs): Their uses, their criteria, and their assessment
Millions of dollars have been invested into the development of digital libraries. There are many unanswered questions regarding their evaluation, in particular, from users' perspectives. This study intends to investigate users' use, their criteria and ...
A logging scheme for comparative digital library evaluation
ECDL'06: Proceedings of the 10th European conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital LibrariesEvaluation of digital libraries assesses their effectiveness, quality and overall impact. To facilitate the comparison of different evaluations and to support the re-use of evaluation data, we are proposing a new logging schema. This schema will allow ...
Research on Evaluation of Digital Library
DSDE '10: Proceedings of the 2010 International Conference on Data Storage and Data EngineeringDigital library is an important part of the National Information Infrastructure, which shows the level of a country’s modernization. In this paper, the different ideologies and criterions of digital libraries evaluation would be discussed and analyzed at ...
