Yes, that's exactly what I want. Can anybody provide me with such statistics?

p.s.: Isn't "referrer" correctly formed in analogy to "referred" and "referring"? (I must say, it feels weird to correct a native speaker.) However, the wikpedia-site you referenced tries to make pretty clear that "referer" is the misspelling.

To be clear, you're looking for long-term stats on referrer[1] counts
from WorldCat.org, preferably from Google Analytics or some other
service that won't count bots. Right?

[1] Strictly speaking they are referers, a spelling error that became
the name. I love the web! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referer)

We are currently trying to evaluate the possible benefits a WorldCat-participation would bring. One of the benefits would be what OCLC calls "web scale for libraries". At the moment we are trying to better estimate the possible benefits in this area. So, it would be very helpful if you could provide me with some statistics about the development of OPAC accesses via WorldCat.org since ist start in August 2006. We are especially interested in the data from academic libraries since such libraries are our foremost patrons.
