Reports: December 2007 Archives

A new report has been created - Items in Processing with Holds.  This optional report is emailed every month from the OWLS office. Each library who requests it can receive a list of their items with a processing status, and holds either on the item or bib record. This report is intended to allow the library to expedite the processing of new items with holds, and is most useful for libraries using the Acquisitions module.

Currently, Appleton and Door County libraries are receiving this report.  Please call the OWLS office if you would like to start receiving this report.

All of the monthly reports that are not posted on the OWLSnet Statistics page have now been converted to an email format.  The most recently converted reports include:

• New patrons report
• Short Loan List
• Discarded Items Statistics/Report

The only remaining reports that are still mailed are the quarterly Linked Patrons report and the annual Patron Purge report.  If you have questions about any of these reports, please don't hesitate to contact Patty or Gerri at the OWLS office.

Starting today, the monthly Checkouts and Renewals by Municipality report will be emailed instead of being mailed.  Some libraries have been re-entering the data from this report to create their own custom reports, so in order to eliminate that extra work, the report will be attached in two formats - pdf and xls.  If you wish to view or print the report, please use the pdf format.  If you wish to import the report into excel, please use the xls format.  

Since this report was originally mailed either to the director of the library or the person responsible for statistics, we used the email address of the person who is currently receiving the report. If you wish to change who the report is emailed to, please contact Patty Hankey.
