NOBLE Staff Information System: Year End Statistics

Year-End Statistics FY04

E. Holdings Information as of 6/30/2004

Holdings information is broken down by format type to match up as closely as possible with the formats in the ARIS form. The formats were derived from the ITYPE in the Innopac. If the Item Format or ITYPE was ambiguous, the statistics were counted under miscelleneous(for example, Special Collection).

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.

BEV | DAN | EVE | GLO | LFD | LYN | MAR | MEL | PEA | RDG | REV | SAL | SAU | STO | SWA | WAK | WTH

BHC | BLC | END | GOR | MCC | MER | MON | NECC | NSCC | PAN | SSC

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

Circulation totals are broken down by format type to match up as closely as possible with the formats in the Board of Library Commissioners' Annual Report Information Survey (ARIS). The formats were derived from the ITYPE field. If the Item Format or ITYPE was ambiguous, the statistics were counted under miscelleneous (for example, Special Collection).

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

93-ILL Non-Ret from my Region
94-ILL Non-Ret from Other Regions
95-ILL Non-Ret from Non-Region
96-ILL Non-Ret from Outside MA
101-ILL Non-Returnable (sent)
34-XX - No Stats
35-XX - Internet PC

These ITYPE's do not represent true circulations as defined in the ARIS as "materials in all formats that are charged out for use outside the library..."

These statistics were generated from the raw data files using a Perl program. 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.

Web renewals have been added to each library's report. Web renewals are defined as renewals of a library's material to Stat Group 40.

For libraries with multiple branches, campuses, or bookmobiles, the totals were combined.

H. Interlibrary Loans

Interlibrary loan statistics were gathered from 5 different reports:

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)

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).

BEV | DAN | EVE | GLO | LFD | LYN | MAR | MEL | PEA | RDG | REV | SAL | SAU | STO | SWA | WAK | WTH

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

BHC | END | GOR | MCB | MCL | MER | MON | NECC | NSCC | PAN | SSC

I. Interlibrary Loans in Table G

Checkouts to special ILL cards were already subtracted from the Circ 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

The number of registered borrowers as of 6/30/2004 is counted by the RECIPROCAL field to most closely represent residents of your community.

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