Hi Cindy --
We've used a ColdFusion application to collect ref stats for about the
past two years, and are in the process of generalizing this out to other
kinds of service encounters at other service points (ie. hourly
gatecounts, circulation encounters, etc.). We didn't look too hard at
what's out there, so I can't speak to what vendor solutions exist, but
its very easy to build these kinds of simple web applications in CF, and
to a lesser degree, PHP (which is more complicated and labor-intensive,
IMO).
