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

5min

Wrap-up/planning

All

Next week

• review coordinated collections reporting

• finish up preliminary resource sharing reporting needs

• look at requirements doc to determine areas where we can/should add consortial extensions
