2017-12-13 - Consortia SIG Notes

 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
