[SigLT-L] Looking for an electronic statistical gathering tool

[Pascal Calarco]

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).
