Hi Shasta! I would recommend a single circulation report with canned results.
Your library system or consortium would set up an official monthly circulation report with the results stored on a web-server or shared space that all could access. As oppose to running a new report anytime you needed the information and taking the chance that the information would change, the library system or consortium would run it once and you & the libraries within the system could access the file as many times as needed with no chance of the results changing. The January circ report would be run once and the results would be put in a "can" assessable to all. Sound good?

I noticed an increase in some stats which is due to renewals being counted for the month that the original circulation took place. However, I also noticed a decrease in other stats which I can only attribute to items that have been deleted from the system. (These are items which would not have their circulating location, shelving location or circ mod changed.) Has anyone else noticed this? How do you deal with your circulation stats? (We are currently on vers 1.4.06) Any input would be appreciated. Shasta P. Brewer Deputy Director York County Library 113 E.
