Chapter 36 Reports basics
This chapter provides a brief overview of Reports. It includes instructions for
starting the application and the common tasks associated with generating
reports, lists, notices, spine/pocket labels, and patron cards.
About Reports
Reports lets you use information collected during the daily circulation and
cataloging activities to create an assortment of reports, lists, and notices. Using
these reports, you can determine which copies are being heavily circulated,
identify materials with incomplete MARC records, examine lists of missing
copies or patrons with outstanding fines, and much more.
Reports divides the reports, lists, and notices into two groups:
S
Cataloging reports are designed to help you maintain the library collection.
They include reports for sorting your collection, identifying deficiencies in
MARC records, and printing spine and pocket labels.
S
Circulation reports are designed to help you manage and track transactions.
They include statistics reports, patron cards, barcode lists and labels, and
patron notices for overdues, fines, and items on hold.
