Europeana: Online Visitor Survey

Connotea Imports 2012-07-31

Summary:

"The most important reason given to visit Europeana is for personal research. Almost three-quarters of visitors visit for personal research activities and less than 20% visit for the next most popular reason - work-related research. These percentages were much the same for both the 2009 and 2011 online visitor surveys....Nearly all respondents (97.1%) visited Europeana more than once and 83.5% visited the site 5 times or more: the latter percentage has increased noticeably from 2009 when only 60% of respondents visited the site five times or more....Google and Google Books account for more than three quarters (77.3%) of responses from respondents with a main/favourite site used for the same purpose as Europeana. Europeana´s trustworthiness of content, usefulness of content, general look and feel, and presentation of results are rated higher than the main/favourite competitor but ease of access of content, navigation round the site and search functions ratings for Europeana are lower than the main competitor....As in 2009, by far the most popular new function and feature that could be added to Europeana is the ability for the user to download content. In particular, the downloading of images, text, videos and sounds. Over 90% of respondents agree that this would be “useful” or “very useful” ..."
