Yes, DPLA provides usage statistics for each institution who shares metadata with them. Data is available about how many times your items are viewed in the DPLA portal, how many times users click through from DPLA to your repository, how many times your metadata records are accessed via DPLA’s open API, and where in the world viewers of your records are located.
TDL is still exploring the best ways to share analytics data with our members. We’re looking forward to working with our members to find the most useful way to share this datamember institutions that participate in the aggregation service have access to the DPLA Analytics Dashboard, where you can download usage statistics for your items in DPLA. For more information, see the DPLA usage analytics page in this wiki.
How long does the on-boarding process take for TDL’s DPLA aggregation service?
...
TDL’s DPLA Aggregation Service provides a pathway for institutions that host their own digital repositories to share their collections with DPLA. As an aggregator, TDL harvests metadata records only (not full digital objects) from participating members and shares that metadata with DPLA. The digital objects themselves remain in the institution’s repository.
