Attributing web renewals to patron's home library

["Brenda K. Giovanneillo" <brenda at alisnet dot info>]

Good morning all:

ALIS is working on preparing cost projections to the 
membership for their budgets.

One of our revenu streams has traditionally been the number 
of checkouts/renewals performed at each library.

Now that we are live for close to a year, we notice that for 
2004, over 400,000 renewals were done via our web opac (of a 
total of over 10,000,000 circs).

Is there a way to attribute these 400,000 renewals to the 
patron's home library reliably, so that we could "divide" 
them up and add them to each library's total circ?  We are 
only interested in parsing the web renewals in this way - 
not all circ.

Thank you!  Six inches of snow yesterday - mostly al melted 
already!
