It is commonly known that integrals containing log-polylog integrands admit representations in terms
of special functions such as the Dirichlet eta and Dirichlet beta functions. We investigate two parameterized families
of such integrals and in a particular case demonstrate a connection with the Herglotz function. In the process of the
investigation we recover some known Euler sum equalities and discover some new identities.
