STATISTICS
Chapter 5. ILL STATISTICS
Net Activity
The Net Activity Report provides a summary of the associated library's ILL activities both as a borrower and as a lender, and provides a comparison of borrowing versus lending activities. This report is valuable in identifying inequities between trading partners. Separate sections are provided for each library specified in the report criteria. Within each section, individual statistics are provided for each trading partner from whom the associated library received borrow requests and to whom the associated library submitted borrow requests.
Net Activity Report
- The first line of the report shows the report type and report start and end dates.
- The first table in the section contains a summary (Grand Totals) of net activity statistics between the associated library and all trading partners combined. Each table provides the following information:
- 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 along with the customer ID (CID) and library ID (LID) to which the associated borrowing activity statistics apply, using the format <library name (CID : LID>.
- Each section of the report is comprised of one or more tables. Each table contains individual statistics for a trading partner from whom the associated library received borrow requests and/or to whom the associated library submitted borrow requests.
- Each table provides the following information:
- The table header shows the library name and library code for the associated trading partner.
- The Lending field shows the total number of Loans and the total number of Copies provided by the associated library as a lender to the trading partner.
- The Borrowing field shows the total number of Loans and the total number of Copies received by the associated library as a borrower from the trading partner.
- The Net Activity field shows the net ILL activity (calculated as Lending minus Borrowing) between the associated library and the trading partner. A Net Activity value of “0” indicates an equal number of borrowing and lending transactions have occurred between the associated library and the trading partner. A negative value indicates a deficit of lending transactions to the trading partner by the associated library; a positive value indicates a surplus of lending transactions to the trading partner by the associated library.
