Reports set up in Analytics to help you

Details provided by Ying Liu (Chancellor's Office):

Please do not add the ECC expense in Line 21.

    1. If the library receives access to e-collections or other e-resources through one or more centrally-funded system or consortial arrangements for which it does not pay fully and/or directly (for example, funding is provided by the state on behalf of all members), enter the amount paid by external bodies on its behalf. If the specific dollar amount is not known, but the total student FTE for the consortium and amount spent for the academic members are known, divide the overall amount spent by the institution’s share of the total student FTE. The consortium or system office may make a value-per-FTE metric available for all members of the consortium.
    2. Do not include expenses paid through an annual consortium fee. Report those expenses under line 25 “All other operations and maintenance expenses.”
  • Please continue to add the dollar amount for your campus under the Systems/Services/Bibliographic Utilities column (in the attached) to your own library expense in Line 25 (All other operations and maintenance expenses).
  • If you did not receive a copy of the "CO expenditures to report ACRL" spreadsheet, please contact Ying Liu.

    The reports are here:  /Shared Folders/Community/Reports/Institutions/CalState/ACRL IPEDS Official ULMS folder

    Important

    • Copy the reports to My Folders before running them
      • (lightbulb)  You can copy the whole folder at once!
    • Read the notes and instructions in the description before opening or editing a report
    • There are some fields, such as location, and some metadata, such as default resource type, that require each institution to customize the report
      • We have provided prompts to help with this, but you will need to interpret the ACRL/IPEDS instructions in order to make best use of the prompts
      • (warning)  In many cases, you may still need to edit and customize the report to account for local practices or ongoing migration issues
    • Not every ACRL question can be answered using Analytics, and some reports will only give you part of the data you need
    • Usage data reports will only report on the data you have loaded, manually or via SUSHI
    • There is one folder labeled Run in the IZ
      • From your IZ login, copy this folder to My Folders and run these reports in the IZ
    • There is a second folder labeled Run in the NZ
      • This is for e-resources reports that must include e-resources shared in the NZ
      • From your NZ login, copy this folder to My Folders and run these reports in the NZ
