STATISTICS
Chapter 3. ILL STATISTICS
Borrowing Activity
The Borrowing Activity report provides detailed statistics on the associated library's ILL activities as a borrower. Separate sections are provided for each library specified in the report criteria. Within each section, individual statistics are provided for each trading partner to whom the associated library submitted borrow requests.
Borrowing Activity Report
To view Borrowing Activity:
- The first line of the report shows the report type and report start and end dates.
- The first table in the report contains a summary (Grand Totals) of borrowing activity statistics between all libraries included in the report and all trading partners combined.
- The report is subdivided into multiple sections, with one section provided for each library specified in the report criteria. Each section of the report is preceded by the name of the library to which the associated borrowing activity statistics apply.
- Each section of the report is comprised of one or more tables. Each table contains individual statistics for a trading partner to whom the associated library submitted borrow requests.
- For multiple library reports, the final table in the section contains a
summary (Totals) of borrowing activity statistics between the associated library
and all trading partners combined.
NOTE: Since a borrow request that is not filled by a given library is automatically forwarded to the next lender in the Lender List, a single unique borrow request may be submitted to multiple libraries.
- Each table provides the following information:
- The table header shows the library name and library code for the associated trading partner.
- Separate lines are provided for borrow requests (Loans),
photocopy requests (Copies), and reference requests (Reference)
submitted to the trading partner, and the Total number of requests
