Monthly Statistics Annual Circulation Statistics Special Reports
August 10, 2022 -- Karla Smith
There are a few reports that still run in WorkFlows and there are many reports that run in BLUEcloud Analytics (BC Analytics). Some run automatically, some need to be scheduled to run by each library, and some are run "as needed."
Here are some documents to help clarify which reports run where, and which ones you need to make sure are being run for your library:
The following reports still run in WorkFlows:
A report can be used to create lists of new items for libraries that are not using the Symphony Acquisitions software. The lists are for the library’s website. The report inserts the HTML needed for the titles to have links to the catalog and Syndetics for cover art and additional content. The lists are sorted by Home Location so that the library can easily split out or group various locations.
The reports can schedule the report to run monthly or weekly, or, if the library has had report training, the library can run it at anytime.
When inserted into the library's website, the list takes on the design and look of the library’s website: https://greenlakelibrary.org/new-materials/
If other libraries want new material lists on their websites and are interested in using the new report, contact Melissa Klein or Jay Harland; Melissa will set up the report and Jay will add it to the website.
Each month a series of reports run that generate statistics for library use.
Each report is an Excel spreadsheet, and most open to the sheet listing the system totals; each library's individual stats have their own sheet. Use the green arrows in the lower lefthand footer of Excel to scroll through sheets to find your libary.
All reports of circulation statistics count both checkouts and renewals as a "circulation", except for "Circ by Hour and Day" which considers only checkouts, and the Shoutbomb renewal reports, which consider only renewals.

The New Users report shows the total number of new users registered over the course of the month. The Total Active Users report totals the number of patrons who have used their library card within the past month. Both of these reports are split out by User Cat1.
The Circ by User Cat 1 report shows the total number of checkouts at each library within the past month, split out by User Cat 1.
The Circ by Item Type report shows the total number of checkouts at each library over the past month, split out by the item's Type.*
The Circ by Item Cat 1 report shows the total number of checkouts at each library over the past month, split out by the item's Cat1.*
The Circ by Home Location report shows the total number of checkouts at each library over the past month, split out by the item's Home Location.*
*Item Type, Item Cat 1, and Home Loc: An item's Type describes how the item circulates (ex: how long it circluates and what fine is applied to it if it is overdue). ItemCat1 describes broadly what the item "is", for statistical purposes. An item's Home Location (HomeLoc) describes where in the library it is shelved. There can be overlap between Type, ItemCat1, and Home Loc: Type=DVD, ItemCat1=DVD, HomeLoc=DVD. However, there can also be distinctions: Type=BOOK, ItemCat1=BOOK, HomeLoc=NONFICTION ; Type=BOOK, ItemCat1=LARGEPRINT, HomeLoc=LGPRT-MYS.

When completed, these reports are made available as here via links to the documents.

Top 30 Dewey Categories, Ranked by Circulation and Count
These tables show the top thirty Dewey call number categories ranked by total item circulation and total item counts, split out by Adult and Children's collections for Item Type (for Adult collections) BOOK, BOOK-LH, and BOOK-NH, and (for Children's collections) JBOOK, JBOOK-LH, JBOOK-NH.
Circulation is based on what was checked out at each library, not the item’s owning library; the report may therefore show circulation in an area of the collection where the library does not own any items, based on the item count column. Item counts for the libraries of Campbellsport and Coloma are excluded, as those libraries use broad categories rather than Dewey.
Any nonfiction call number beginning with a prefix (ex. +, J, PB, etc) is also excluded.
B and BIO collections are INCLUDED, and added to the total 920 Dewey range.
In both the rank by circulation and the rank by count tables, subjects that are in the top thirty for both Adult and Children's collections are highlighted.
To see an individual library’s circulation and item count per Dewey range, and the complete ranking of all Dewey ranges by circulation and by item count please see: Circulation and Count by Dewey per Library
