Setting Up Borrower Codes

The borrower codes functionality directly supports the Extended Statistics functionality; the Extended Statistics functionality is feature activated. For more information on this feature activation, see Extended Statistics.

Borrower codes (bcodes) allow you to generate statistics for groups of borrowers who use your library. Borrower codes correspond directly to borrower statistical classes (BSTATs) for the purpose of collecting extended statistics for use by the BiblioGQL software.
