RE: [IUG] terminal circ v. location circ

I would recommend using the Non-owned Items Circulated Report, because that
reports cross-tabs Circing Library stats with Owning Library stats. This
report shows the material that was sent from one library to another for
circulation over another library's circ desk. We use the report for our
Annual Reports in Wisconsin. It is the report that helps us fill out ILL
stats - Items Loaned to and Items received from.

Subject: [IUG] terminal circ v. location circ

	As I was doing my annual report for 2005, I realized that while we
do collect a wide variety of circ stats here at GCPL, we don't seem able to
collect statistics that would cross tabulate terminal circ with location
code circ.  We certainly can see how much items with a particular location
code have been checked out, and been renewed, and of course can collect all
sorts of other information about items with the data pivoting on the
location code.  We also can collection circ stats based on terminal
location, so I do know how many checkouts and renewals we do at the desk and
off of the self-check. However, while I can see that circ of  that my adult
music CDs (location code cacmu) increased dramatically in 2005, I can't tell
how much of that circ was done across the desk here at Cedarville and how
much was done at the other six branches in the system when our CDs were sent
off to fill holds. 
	The Automation dept. here generates many daily statistical circ
reports for us, is there some way to cross tab terminal and location code
circ? We get along without it, but it would be useful information to have
for collection development.
