Aimee:

I code my records when they are multiple subscriptions on multiple records. Then I run statistics for both "records" and for "copies. That way you should be able to get a pretty accurate count. Any recorded coded as a duplicate is just folded into the copies report.

When I print out the budget statistics at the end of the fiscal year to ascertain how much we spent on books, serials, newspapers, etc. I realized that the statistics are inaccurate due to some titles having multiple order records (due to multiple funds) and to some titles having only one order record (due to bundled packages). The average cost of these items is skewed since it counts one order record per one title. Has anyone found a way around this so that the statistical report is more accurate? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
