Vermont Online Library (H05)
You can see how to access your statistics on our VOL Page (3/4 of the way down the page). The number that we need for the report is Total Fulltext, under Total Usage. This number is generally much lower than searches. If you need your login and password, please contact Joshua Muse.
Learning Express (H05)
For help with Learning Express stats, please contact Joshua Muse.
Universal Class (H05)
Unfortunately, Universal Class stats are not available by library. Because of the way the system is structured, users are lumped into one total, with no identifying info for their library. Starting with the 2022 report, we have been estimating usage based on population, and adding it after the report has been submitted by libraries.
Listen Up Vermont / GMLC / Overdrive
Holdings - Starting with the 2024 report, we are only asking for the number of items your library has purchased individually through Overdrive Advantage. We'll add the consortium-wide numbers separately.
Circulation (H04a-d) - Chris Kirby (from GMLC) shared some tips on how to access your circulation stats:
- Login to your account at Overdrive Marketplace
- Browse to Insights -> Reports -> Circulation Activity
- Choose Run a New Report
- Select Checkout by Branch, choose your branch, and choose the time frame you want to report (for example, the last 12 months).
- For an overall total, set Format to All Audiobooks and All Ebooks, and select all six options under Audience.
Palace Project
Holdings - As above, you only need items that you've purchased individually through Palace Marketplace or Baker & Taylor.
Circulation (H04a-i) - Contact Joshua Muse to receive your circulation numbers.
Inter Library Loan (H07a & b)
You can get your ILL numbers from Clover. Just go to Staff Dashboard -> Statistics Menu and choose Activity and Request Reports:
Then set the date range, choose the format for the report (I usually go with HTML), and select Lender statistics and click Submit:
That will give you the total for that activity for the specified date range. Then you can go back and do the same report for Borrower statistics.
Consortium Lending - Ideally, libraries that offer lending within their consortium would include those statistics (both lending and receiving) under ILL, rather than regular circulation. However, we know that may not be practical. It does not include reciprocal borrowing (where a patron physically comes to your library), which just counts as regular circulation.
Virtual Programming and Recordings
Various state libraries have put together a spreadsheet with advice for attendance for virtual programming and recordings (Excel)
