Viewing Title Circulation Reports
The Title Circulation report enables you to specify a set of titles, and then to view data on the number of times the title has been checked out and the number of times the title has been used in-house. The system calculates these statistics from the item records attached to each title and reflects cumulative activity since your system was installed.
To view this report:
- Select Circ Activity from the reports menu.
- Click Title from the reports menu, and click Submit. The system displays the report last generated.
- To change the parameters for the report or to update the existing report, click Recalculate.
- To specify a set of titles based on usage, enter the minimum and maximum number of transactions in the fields to the right of the label To be listed, a title must have at least this many transactions.
The system automatically displays default values of 0 and 99999, respectively. If you specify at least 0 transactions and at most 0 transactions (that is, enter 0 in both boxes above), the report shows titles never checked out or used in-house.
- To specify a set of titles based on bibliographic record number, enter the Minimum and Maximum record numbers.
Enter only record numbers in the boxes; do not enter the prefix .b or the check digit.
- To specify a review file, click the button to the left of the review file name. You can select only one review file at a time.
- After specifying a set of titles, click Submit Query.
- To view the most recent data, click Recalculate.
