Circulation statistics for item on item record

Description

Current situation or problem:
Some users will need information about how many times and item circulated or was used in-house, but will not have the ability to use the LDP. For these users, the number of times an item was circulated or used in-house would be helpful to display on the item record.

In scope

  • Count number of loans and in-house uses and display on item record, broken out by effective location

Out of scope

  • user will not be able to filter by date (or anything else) from this screen

Use case(s)

  • convenient to have that information for weeding or when deciding whether or not to replace a lost item

Hi, We came to talk about this (again) at Chalmers. 

Suggestion for future development
As circ stats disappears when an item is weeded, we think it would be very nice to have total loans for all items calculated also at instance level. 
To at a glance see this would be interesting when

  • Deciding if a new copy might be needed

  • Deciding ho many copies to purchase of a new edition

  • Weeding

Also, some indication when the loans happened would be interesting. From previous ILS, as I remember it, we also had the opportunity to see circulation statistics (stating renewals separately) for 

Year to date, Last year, and all previous years. This may be a later addition to this feature as well?

Yah, this wouldn't be. There might be the ability to repurpose some of the data being tracked in loan-history but it will still require backend work.

Note Marc Johnson's comment from May 2020
Needs decisions about how and where to store this information (e.g. in circulation or inventory) and how to make it available in a performant manner.

I think this is not just UI.

is this story UI only?

Echoing Patty that I get asked about this feature by nearly every library I work with - two this week, in fact! Any chance this feature will see life in Lotus or Morning Glory?

Potential Workaround

Use LDP for number of loans. May need other tracking to query for in-house use (see UXPROD-81)
