We are using Google Analytics on our finding aids at NCSU, though it's
only been in place for a few months so we don't have much data
collected yet. Prior to that we we using Urchin (which was bought by
Google in early 2005). We are still using Urchin alongside GA. Do you
have any specific questions or things you want feedback on?
