Subject: RE: [SERIALST] can anyone give practical advise on annual piece
counts for inventory stats

Good morning Irma

Here is how I run my monthly list of Serials Checkin - I see you had a
similar response on SerialsList.

Go to Create Lists

Search Records

Store Record Type - Checkin and Card also check the box to retain each
box

1st Line
Type=Checkin .... Here at UNH we use the RLOC to distinguish between
either a title paid by Serials or Acquistions.  I am only interested in
the Serials end here so I fill in the code we use for RLOC Serials.
Depending on your size library you may not use this function and it is
not required.

2nd Line
Operator=And Type=Checkin  Box Status Equal to A (for Arrived)

3rd Line Operator=And Type=Checkin Transaction Between beginning date
and end date

Here at UNH we also use a 4th to break it down by location.  Again this
depends on the size of your library and if you have multiple locations
as we do here.

I save the search in Create List and can hit Retrieve Search each month
and just update the transaction dates I want.

This is a very accurate way to keep track of your monthly checkin
totals.  We have been using it here since we started with III close to
10 years now.

If you do bind journals during the binding procedure we collapse the
circulation statistics into the new item record - this is very helpful
for Collection Department when it comes time to decide what titles stay
and which get cancelled or transferred to online only.

If there is anything else I or my supervisor Ann Cloutier can help you
with please do not hesitate to contact either one of us.

Actually, I was only asking about the checkin but the usage is
definitely something that we are interested in.  Oh thank heaven.  I
have been looking at this for a few days and I as beginning to think you
couldn't do this.

I would definitely appreciate your input.

Thanks again.

Hi Irma

Are you asking about the number of issues you check in during a month or
looking for the usage each issue?  You can run lists based on dates too
and locations too. We use III Milleumium here at the University of NH  -
my boss and I are the Serials Queens!

Let me know what you are looking for - my day is over at 1:45 today so
if you don't hear back from me today I will email you on Wed.

Monique

Hi,

The dreaded question, is there some fairly uncomplicated way to count
the number of checkin over the course of time on the automated systems?
We are using III Milenium.  While there are piece counts in place for
grand totals historic stats are not available that I know of and I would
like to know if there is some simple, keyword, simple way to get to
these?

Blessings,
