[ILL-L] Statistics gathering

[Campbell, Heather]

Admin forwarded a request for statistical and percentage/proportional
data from the last fiscal year that they needed immediately- namely:

 

For Borrowing:

Loans filled by in-state libraries (number and percentage of whole)

Loans filled by out-of-state libraries (number and percentage of whole)

The types of libraries filling the loans (academic. public, school,
special, other) (number and percentage of whole for each type)

 

For Lending:

For Borrowing:

Loans filled for in-state libraries (number and percentage of whole)

Loans filled for out-of-state libraries (number and percentage of whole)

The types of libraries requesting the loans (academic. public, school,
special, other) (number and percentage of whole for each type)

 

I used ILLiad data for this because it includes ALA requests but I had
to go through all 3960 records and assign state and library type
designations and because ILLiad gave me the data for the whole year.  It
looked like OCLC only gave this information for a month at a time
instead of for a time period.  

 

Can any of you think of less labor-intensive way of getting this
information together?  

 

By the way- the resulting information was interesting and surprising in
some cases.  My eyes are still tying to recover.
