Hi Chris, So yes, that worked wonderfully - thanks! Now I have a weeding list for my videos and audiocassettes...
...which are both collections for which we haven't added any new material in the last few years. It becomes an issue if I try to use it on something like DVDs or audiobooks on CD or MP3 that have low circ numbers due to only having been added in the last few months. Right now, I'm experimenting with adding a filter for Check in date (if it hasn't been taken out since a certain date) or Record Creation Date/Time (if the record was created before a certain date and has less than a specified number of circulations). And that's where I am for now. r.

Could you try this out?: Uses Item source with nullability selection enabled Displayed Fields: Item -> (Default) Call Number/Volume -> Call Number Label (Raw Data) Item -> (Default) Call Number/Volume -> (Default) Bib Record -> (Default) Simple Record Extracts -> Title Proper (normalized) (Raw Data) as "Title" Item -> Barcode (Raw Data) Item -> (Child) Circulations -> Circ ID (Count Distinct) as "Total Circulation Count" Aggregate Filters: Item -> (Child) Circulations -> Circ ID (Count Distinct) - Less than or equal to - "10" Base Filters: Item -> Circluation Modifier (Raw Data) - In list Item -> (Default) Circulating Library -> Organizational Unit ID - In list Please let me know if that works for you.
