Legend: NOT STARTED IN PROGRESS STALLED DECIDED
Recommendation
Cease use of “schedule” designations in annual statistics reporting materials, including forms for gathering campus statistics, instructions, and final reporting.
Previous "Schedule" designation | New plain-language title |
Schedule A | Report of Holdings |
Report of Titles | |
Schedule C | Report of Interlibrary and Intercampus Transactions |
Schedule D | Library Materials by Building Location for Risk Management |
Schedule E-I | Public Services and Workload |
Schedule F | Digitized Content |
Background
During planning for FY23/24 annual statistics, AASA-PT members reflected challenges understanding schedule designations in UCL annual statistics, both within the group and for local stakeholders, noting that plain-language naming would better support sense-making and communication. As part of the team’s charge to streamline systemwide annual statistics reporting, the group decided to eliminate these “schedule” designations in favor of the plain-language titles for forms and reports.
Dependencies
AASA-PT and CDL will need to clearly communicate this change to campus statistics contacts and provide support for this transition within the forms and instructions. All forms, instructions, and communications related to the non-ILS campus submissions of data will indicate former schedule designations in FY23/24 reporting, and will cease using these designations altogether in FY24/25.
