Generating a Collection Statistics Report

The Collection Statistics Report lets you examine the circulation statistics for the

current day, month, or the previous year. This report also includes the statistics

for the current year as well as the statistics accumulated since you installed

Circulation Plus. Use this report to identify low circulation areas in the library

collection in need of weeding, promotion, or enhancement. You can also use this

report to track library materials currently being promoted.

Select the desired time frame

for the report.

Enter the starting and ending

call numbers.

Select the level of detail.

Include statistics for copies

having a call number prefix.

The Collection Statistics Report has these options:

Time frame: Choose the time span for the statistics.

Call Number Range: Type in the starting and ending numbers for this report.

Detail level: Select the level of detail for the report:
1'sĊLists statistics for each whole call number.
10'sĊLists statistics for each group of 10 (000-009, 010-019, and so on).
100'sĊLists statistics for each group of 100 (000-099, 100-199, and so on).

Call Number Prefixes: Check the box to include statistics for copies that have

call number prefixes (for example, FIC or REF). If you do not, the report is

limited to copies with Dewey call numbers ( your non-fiction materials).

After selecting your report options, click Print.

Note:

If you want to calculate circulation statistics as of a particular date, use the

Set Report Date feature to override the current system date. For more

information about changing the report date, see page 494.
