Verifying the 2022 Output for UC Libraries statistics

  1. Final copy of 2022-2023 UC Libraries and UCOP report.

    1. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IstLMvPus_mPCcJ-yYP3FcdljDugKMTI/edit#gid=198038702

    2. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pHp0C-81P4DYR5Fsvz0qr7ShPKFxd467/view?usp=drive_link

These data were shared with the UC Libraries statistics contacts (some AASA-PT members also serve as their stats contact).

Decision: AASA-PT members confirmed that the 22/23 UCL/UCOP annual stats should be posted the the website; we should remove the draft watermark.

Issues in 2022-2023Potential topics / issues to work on summer 2024 (work plan for 2024/25)

  1. Special collections have different methods of counting.

  2. Fulfillments and Requests (what happened at the end?

  3. Deletions in the system do not equal withdrawals - results in some campuses self-reporting and some campuses generating additional stats for local campus reporting.

  4. Fulfillment by library for ACRL

  5. Did the end product seem clear?

Annual Plan?

  2. What is the single most important change we can make this year?

  • Verify desire to include “fix” whereby electronic items accidentally tagged as physical are re-binned (and vice versa, physical items accidentally ragged as electronic are re-binned);

    • (a) Do we want to keep this re-binning, and have separate reports run to support data clean-up?

    • (b) Or should the fix be removed; stats reflect the holdings and titles as they’re currently reflected in the catalogue, and

  • Campus-based vote in favour of (b).

  • Clearer naming conventions are preferred: Physical by library/building; Physical circulation by user group)

  • Special collections are still outside the jurisdiction of NZ-reporting; each campus submits the three manuscript units stats, pictorial items and non-ILS microformats. These stats are incorporated into the holdings (physical) table.

  • Establishment of clear, standardized process overview and timeline (so everyone know what is needed / expected of them; everyone knows.

    • Clear process for AASA-PT (so folks know what they need to verify / bin)

    • Clear documentation for broader audience.

    • Need to be able to compare this year’s stats to last year’s stats – could have a pre-report (run before July 01, for review);

  • Decision: We should run NZ/centralized data on July 01; even if refinements are made throughout summer and we make the decision to re-run the data, July 01 run-date is the ultimate goal and will serve as a benchmark.

  • Decision: Remove re-bin for correcting electronic/physical collections erroneously catalogued. We should report holdings/titles as they’re represented in the catalogue.

  • Decision: Let’s further remove references to “Schedule” - let’s just have clear titles and descriptors.

  •  Daisy Nip to remove physical/electronic re-bin; provide campuses with list of holdings that seem to have incorrect format type assigned.
  •  Anna Striker is reaching out to HOSC chair, to check-in regarding the non-NZ/ILS special collections stats.
  •  All - Bin new (this year) user groups.

Work plan for 2024/25

Work to carry-out in 24/25, for reporting summer 2025

  1. Review Resource type designations

  2. What to do with Special Collections - This yearWhat to do with Fulfillment - This year

  3. What to Do with Withdrawals - This Year

  • Withdrawals are complicated; only a few campuses can generate withdrawal stats from the ILS. Can we validate in Alma Analytics, whether the record was deleted due to a withdrawal vs. non-withdrawal action?

    • Physical items historical events?

    • Request inclusion of a note for deleted item.

  • Subgroup is al
