Some users might find either Google Analytics or Piwik or anything silimar
disturbing. All they will see is JavaScript requests going off to somewhere
unknown while they are searching, placing holds, browsing their reading history
etc. This might be construed as (an unknown) Big Brother looking over their
shoulder while they are using the library. 

One solution might be to only include the JS code on pages that are viewed by
non-logged in users. 

Another solution could be to not track the pages that require a logged in user
(like placing holds or viewing reading history), but track everyone while they
are e.g. searching. 

This could be governed by a syspref, so libraries could choose what they want
to track (accompanied by a small note pointing out the privacy issues). 

BTW: Piwik looks really cool! It seems they even have an API that might make it
possible to display the stats collected by it *inside* Koha.
