Announcements and Reminders

Sharon

Announcements:

• About the Reporting SIG meeting schedule

  • Meetings are held on the first 4 Mondays of each month at 11:00 am Eastern U.S. time (see this time in your time zone). The first and third Mondays focus on Reporting Development topics, and the second and fourth Mondays focus on Reporting Business topics. 

  • "business" means topics like presentations on reporting functionality and new features, new reporting applications, surveys and studies on reporting, etc.

  • "development" means working on derived tables and report queries for the folio-analytics GitHub repository

  • "workshopping" queries could be scheduled during any of these meetings, and it would be great to have topics and/or questions in advance so we can prepare to walk through the answers/approaches, such as "how to I fix this inventory query to get rid of the duplicates?" or "what is the best way to calculate totals in this finance query?" 

• Important Upcoming Changes to LDP software support:

  • end of support is end of May 2025

  • see Mike Gorrell at Index Data for questions

  • institutions running LDP on a reporting database are encouraged to move to running Metadb software
    

Ongoing Topics:

• Workshopping your queries

  • part of each Reporting SIG business meeting will be devoted to time to work through any query questions you may have

  • please reach out to Christie Thomas if you have a question you would like to "workshop" during an upcoming Reporting SIG meeting

Question:

How to match Course Reserve Titles to Vendor Electronic Usage reports?

Elena OMalley

Question:

If you were writing a report involving individual course reserves titles, what field would you include to help match it against vendor ebook (Clarivate/Proquest and EBSCO, mostly) usage reports? I was initially thinking eISBN, but MARC doesn't have a specific subfield for only eISBN, does it? Do ebook records have any convenient unique identifiers that would appear in both FOLIO and vendor reports?

-035 MARC has ebz prefixes, not

-020 MARC for EISBN not consistent; perhaps take the first one?

-use the DOI from the MARC 856

-EBSCO accession number, Proquest it is the document id; maybe compare to MARC 856

Metadb Mapping Next Steps

Mike Gorrell

Review a few Testing Notes

Next Steps:

1. Which Derived Tables to test next?

loans_items
item_ext
holdings_ext
instance_ext
instance_identifiers
locations_service_points
finance_transaction_invoices
holdings_notes
holdings_electronic_access
instance_statistical_codes
holdings_statistical_codes
locations_libraries
users_departments_unpacked
invoice_adjustments_in_addition_to
holdings_statements_indexes
holdings_statements
holdings_statements_supplements
finance_transaction_purchase_order
po_prod_ids
instance_administrative_notes
instance_contributors
item_notes

2. Clarity around how these new derived tables will be used - example queries?

Reporting SIG Goals for 2025

Sharon and Scott

If there is time, we’ll do a first cut on Reporting SIG Goals for 2025.

To start thinking about this, you can take a look at our projects here: Reporting SIG Projects

This is also a great opportunity to think about and share ideas, such as:

• What can you can bring to FOLIO Reporting to benefit the reporting community?

• What should the Reporting SIG do to support the reporting community?
