Consortial Reporting Needs

Consortial Reporting Needs

Functional Needs

  • share ad hoc report templates

  • API access for integration with external dashboards, etc.

  • ability to run reports on behalf of library members

Assumptions:

  • Reports have some capability to be run at the consortium level and library level

  • Reports can query and filter based on MARC and/or Instance data

  • Library level consortia reporting should be from the perspective of the reporting library interacting with others

  • Consortia level reporting should be able to be done across from all institutions

This spreadsheet includes needs carried over from the 2018 list of Consortial Reporting Needs page.  Note:  Updated October 2024 with statuses provided by Dennis Bridges.
