To see how much use a title gets, you can review the Checkouts by Title report. This helps you maximize your library’s resources by monitoring wear and tear on popular titles and identifying unused items that are taking up shelf space. Using this report and working with your Acquisitions staff, you can quickly determine whether to replace damaged items or make sure that your library orders the appropriate number of items for a particular location.
Here is an example of the Checkouts by Title Report using EasyAsk to display it:
To generate a Checkouts by Title report
1 | Open your reporting tool. (For example, open the EasyAsk Query Builder.) |
2 | Enter this query to run the Number of Checkouts per Title Report from scratch: |
report of all item barcode, usage, location, title for a specified bib#, group by location
Important: Enter this text exactly as shown. If text wraps, insert one space at that point. Do not insert carriage returns or extra spaces.
3 | Enter the bib record number of the title. |
A report will be displayed for the title you are interested in.
4 | If you want to, print this report or save it to a file. (For instructions, see your third-party reporting tool’s user’s guide.) |
5 | Save this query in your dictionary. (For instructions, see the Easy Ask Administrator’s Installation and Deployment Guide.) |
