If you log into the ALA website and it doesn't identify you correctly, you may be encountering a browser cookie issue we recently learned about. We've made some changes on our end, but to fix the issue, you'll need to log out of the website, clear the cookies from your web browser, and then log back in. If you're not sure how to clear those cookies, there's a helpful tutorial here from the folks at New York University.

If you still encounter problems, please contact us at helpdesk@ala.org. Thanks.

Urchin has been installed, and website usage statistics for all of 2006 are currently available. Users are encouraged to play with the new service while we develop training materials. Visit http://alalog.ala.org:9999/ and use "testing" (without quotes) for both the login and password.

Urchin is installed and running. Staff are now able to pull up meaningful statistics with just a few clicks.

Dealing with higher-priority security issues has pushed back the launch of new traffic and search reports using Urchin until November.
