Consortial Reporting

  • Discuss reporting requirements for Resource Sharing 
All 

 Reporting needs

  • turnaround time (aspirational need)
    • makes an assumption that data about requests sticks around once it's fulfilled
    • exception report for outliers
    • Tania Hewes is working on data elements for filled requests
  • reports on unfilled requests
    • requests not filled by "need by" date will get a special status
  • title reports for both requests or filled requests (includes requesting library, lending library, pickup location)
    • also available for home library loans
    • useful for collection development purposes
  • input/output - counts of loans to and borrows from other libraries in the consortia (and individual libraries within the consortium)
  • filled percentage calculated by dividing number of filled requests by total number of requests
  • overdue items
    • both operational and analytical
      • operational - reports to identify currently overdue items for the purposes of getting them back
      • analytical - counts of items in an overdue status for a particular period of time
    • also lost/missing/damaged items - might need to track any/all item statuses for various reporting needs
  • items in transit for "too long" (time period needs to be adjustable)
  • fines/fees data
  • dimensions
    • target patron groups
  • number of home library items borrowed by home library patrons that are delivered to a non-home pickup location (i.e. library A items delivered to library B for library A patron)
  • look at Orbis Cascade resource sharing list of reports: https://www.orbiscascade.org/rsf-documentation/


Coordinated collections

  • bib stats
    • size of union catalog (# of bib records, # of items)
    • size of individual library collections
    • overlap/uniqueness metrics

Consortial extensions

  • are there any that we need to add/review soon?
All

Where is best place to start?

  • Local cataloging and KB development are ramping up now - might be good places to start
