E. Holdings Information as of 6/30/2002

The categories for ADULT/YA and CHILDREN are derived from the location code in the item records. Codes ending with an "a" are included in the ADULT totals; codes ending with a "j" are included in the CHILDREN totals. If your library does not catalog YA materials under the "a" location, then you will have to adjust these totals. College library reports retain the original location code and are not broken down by Adult/Children.

For periodical holdings, the system is only able to count issues. Since the ARIS and IPEDS forms request that you report bibliographic volumes and not the number of issues, the number was not included.

This corresponds to section E of the ARIS form.

The following chart shows the number of bibliographic records that each college library is attached to. This corresponds with the IPEDS request for the number of titles owned.

G. Circulation Totals

NOTE: checkouts to patrons with a PTYPE of "Special Patron", "ILL Card", and "NOBLE ILL Center" were subtracted from the ADULT/YA totals. These checkouts were for internal use only and should not be counted as a checkout on the ARIS form.

These statistics were generated from a Cross Tab report with the rows set to ITYPE and the columns set to item Location. The item location was used to determine whether material was adult/YA or childrens. If your library does not catalog YA materials under the "a" location, then you will have to adjust these totals. For libraries with multiple branches, campuses, or bookmobiles, the totals were combined.

You can view the System Totals or select a library below to view complete detailed reports.

The Excel spreadsheet used to create these reports also shows circs broken down by specific item locations.

H. Interlibrary Loans

• loans you provided to other NOBLE libraries - based on the counts of all other libraries circulating your materials (Non-Owned Items Report)
• loans you provided to libraries outside of NOBLE - based on checkouts to patrons with a PCODE1 of b, c, m, n, s, w, t, r, o, d (Boston, Central, Metrowest, Northeast, Southeast, Western, Other Region, Non-Region, Decertified)
• loans you received from other NOBLE libraries - based on counts of your statistics group circulating other libraries' materials (Non-Owned Items Report)
• loans you received from outside of NOBLE - based on checkouts of items with an ITYPE of 88-91, 93-96, 101 (Returnable and Non-Returnable ILL Material)
• Loans you provided to the ILL Center - based on checkouts to the ILL Center patron (PTYPE 3)

NOTE: Last year NOBLE recommended that libraries use an ITYPE to represent borrowed material rather than an item scat. For these reports, item scats were checked for each library, and if the count by item scat (3000-3999) was greater than the count by ITYPE, then the scat figures were used instead of the ITYPE figures. These libraries should review their ILL procedures and make sure accurate ITYPES are added to incoming material. Scats are no longer needed for ILL items in order to produce Interlibrary Loan and Net Lender statistics.

Non-Owned Items Circulated - This report shows ILL's among NOBLE libraries. If you want to print this, you need the Excel file.

The following reports include complete ILL activity including the statistics from the Non-Owned report (above).

The college ILL statistics are formatted as per the IPEDS form:

I. Interlibrary Loans in Table G

Checkouts to special ILL cards were already subtracted from the ILL totals provided for Section G above. Enter 0 on the ARIS form for this section.

J. Nonresident Circulation Transactions

Non-Resident borrowing statistics are taken from the Circ Activity Report (sorted by RECIPROCAL) of the Innovative system. Reciprocal borrowing is determined by the code in the RECIPROCAL field of the patron's record.

This corresponds to section J of the ARIS form.

L. Number of Registered Borrowers

This corresponds to section L of the ARIS form and Section D of the of the ARIS Additional Information Survey.

N6. Hits to the Library's Home Page

Libraries that host their websites on NOBLE's server can find year-end totals on the Webtrends page.

Net Lending Offset Progam Statistics

The Net Lender form for the MBLC requires that you look at your ILL statistics by region. The ILL statistics above were reworked to show loans to and borrows from region members.

NOTE: Last year NOBLE recommended that libraries use an ITYPE to represent the region that the borrowed material came from rather than an item scat. For libraries that had statistics in the non-specific ITYPE "ILL Material", item scats (3000-3999) were checked and the scat figures were used instead of the ITYPE figures. These libraries should review their ILL procedures and make sure accurate ITYPES are added to incoming material.
