review borrowing reports

what’s status? what’s needed? what’s next?

20

 

question, getting away from Analytics: what do ‘filled’ requests look like at your campus? eg. are they all in ‘deleted’ status? → what criteria would make sense for your campus?

UCR: on hold shelf: request is complete, but then disappears

?? what happens to these request + its data (in particular status) after transaction complete done (eg. checked back in at lender)? → is this different per IZ ??

what’s happening with completed borrowing requests? if they’re completed+deleted in Alma IZ are they still in Analytics??

Statuses included in UCD’s filter: deleted, request completed, loaned item to patron, physically received by library

 

Peter (non-deletes) & Sabrina (yes-deletes) will try out ‘fake’ borrowing request lifecycle (report back on Jun 30, 2022 meeting)

lending stats???

Alison show ‘standing on head’ way of getting lending stats from borrowing report

any progress in getting ‘real’ lending stats report?

10

 

open q: since ‘standing on head’ would have to be run by SOC (CDL), how would data/report results be distributed?

 

‘real’ lending stats dependent on getting dependable borrowing stats

IZ Analytics Settings

what sorts of settings are impacting Analytics? (as opposed to workflows in Alma IZ)

 

 

Anonymization docs from ExL:
Anonymizing Analytics Reports Details - hides contents of ppi user fields in analytics (data still exists, reversible)
configuring fulfillment anonymization job - remove borrower name & id from transaction history (data scrubbed, not reversible)

SUNY guide ('clean up' jobs & ‘remove request' steps may put requests into ‘deleted’ status):
