MINES

MINES employs a Web-based user survey methdology that "mines" digital content usage to determine users' demographics, location of virtual library use, and purpose of use. A short survey, 3-5 questions, is delivered at the point of use of an e-journal, database article, or digital collection or service. With this single tool, libraries can measure the use of commercially available digital content, electronic resources served via consortial arrangement or portals, and digital collections mounted on library servers.
