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.

Statistics for the month of:

2024

New Users counts the number of users registered at your library in the previous month. Total Active Users counts the number of users who have been active in some way in the last month.

Circ by ICat1 considers the number of checkouts for each ICat1, by ICat2 (Age Group), and splitting out each result CIRC/INHOUSE (ICat4), for each checkout library.

As a convenience to WALS libraries, some reports are produced by staff and made available as finished reports.  These reports typcally include data for all of the WALS libraries.

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

  The circulation is based on what was checked out at the library.  Since that material may have come from another library, the report may show circulation in a Dewey area where the library doesn't own any titles.  There is a description for each Dewey breakout.
  The report shows the counts and circulation for all of the WALS libraries.  It has been formatted for printing a single library at a time.  Use the print preview to determine the pages needed for just your library.
  The spreadsheet includes a "Top 30" for both adult and juvenile Dewey circulation and item counts.
  The report EXCLUDES adult nonfiction for Campbellsport and juvenile for Coloma because those libraries use broad categories rather than Dewey for those parts of their collection.
  The report also EXCLUDES any nonfiction call number that starts with a letter rather than an actual dewey number:  The prefixes +, J, PB, WI, for example.
  The report DOES include B and BIO.  These were added to the 920 Dewey range.
