Physical Books, volume counts (line 40a, column (1)) IPEDS discontinued the reporting of physical volume counts in 2016. ACRL understands that there is trend analysis value for this long-standing measure. Therefore, if available: | Alma out-of-the-box report: Shared Folders/Alma/Industry Statistics/Industry Statistics → Number of Objects → Physical Inventory Count (Total number of items broken down by material type) | Click to open the report, then choose the appropriate material types from the dropdown and click Apply FInal report: Alternative method: Item count by library and location may be a helpful cross-reference if material types are inaccurate post-migration.

Number of e-books owned or leased (include gov docs, aggregated titles, and electronic theses; include DDA titles only when licensed) | Alma out-of-the-box report: Shared Folders/Alma/Industry Statistics/Industry Statistics → Number of Objects → Electronic Inventory Count (Total number of portfolios broken down by material type) | |||||
Number of physical serial titles (not subscriptions; include ceased titles) |
The formula in the Count column is COUNT(DISTINCT "Bibliographic Details"."Resource Type" by "Bibliographic Details"."MMS Id") In layout, change the aggregation rule in the COUNT column to Sum, then move it to Sections. Hide MMS Id.
