September 2016 Stats
September means football season. Football season means traffic spikes.
August 2016 Stats
August marks the return of students to campus, and with them comes their many mobile devices.
July 2016 Stats
Summer marches on, and like last month, traffic is down. For our long-time readers, we've added a new stat this month: on/off campus stats for each group.
June 2016 Stats
Only item of note is a small shift between Android and iOS traffic in June. My best guess (I'm going to check with OIT) is that a large percentage of students run iOS, and their leaving campus caused a drop in iOS traffic.
May 2016 Stats
Very few shifts this month, but you can definitely tell from the mobile app traffic when the students left campus.
April 2016 Stats
April showers bring May flowers. There's certainly been no shortage of flowers on campus this Spring. So what's of interest this month? According to our stats provider, Safari on iOS is consistently ranking as our #2 browser across all sites. We're going to have to dig into that one.

And while the mobile browser/os precentages remained steady, the total traffic from mobile increased pretty much across the board.…
December 2015 Stats
As usual, due to the holiday break, we saw a drop in overall traffic.

ND Developers Google Group
With the recent move to Google, Derek Owens was kind enough to set up a University Software Developers Google Group. This group will provide us with a location for discussion and communication. It's also taking the place of the previous developer listserv.
GSA Retiring May 19, 2014
Currently, web search is handled by a Google Search Appliance (GSA) hosted on campus. We are moving away from that appliance to Google Site Search (GSS), hosted on Google’s servers. The impacts to campus are:
- Reduced cost
- Reduced maintenance
- Improved search results
- Current queries to the GSA may no longer work …
