Physical Library Circulation / Usage (ACRL 2016 line 60, column (1)) | Build a query:
Note re: the Alma out-of-the-box report in Industry Statistics: At this time (9/12/16), this report was not providing an accurate answer, did not prompt for FY, and could not be edited, so there was no way to tell what fiscal year or other filters were applied. Recommendation: do not use until ExL fixes–create your own as above. Very important note re: stats immediately post-migration: This query technique will only work accurately for circulation that happens AFTER go-live. Item data that is migrated into Alma from Millennium (and probably Sierra–needs testing) will only contain the most recent circulation action, so titles will show as having circulated during a given fiscal year, but will only show as circulating ONCE. Use your OLD ILS for ACRL/IPEDS circ stats for FY 15-16 AND FY 16-17. Use Alma for ACRL/IPEDS circ stats beginning FY 17-18 (the first full year in production). | ||
Digital/Electronic Library Circulation / Usage (ACRL 2016 Line 60, column (2)) | |||
E-book Usage COUNTER BR1 (title) (line 61, column (2)) (not asked on IPEDS) | |||
E-book Usage COUNTER BR2 (section) (line 62, column (2)) (not asked on IPEDS) | |||
E-serials Usage (line 63, column (2)) (not asked on IPEDS) Include usage for all e-serials, even if the title was purchased as part of a database. When possible record usage at the article level. The most relevant COUNTER report is JR1. If available, include the count for open access e-journal usage if the title is accessible through the library’s catalog or discovery system. | Alma out-of-the-box report: Shared Folders/Alma/Usage/Reports/Platforms - All (make sure to modify for FISCAL YEAR) |
