Count by Sublibrary/Collection/Material/Item Status Report

(report-itemlocs)

Count by Sublibrary/Collection/Material/Item Status (SCMI) is an item count report. The program, called report-itemlocs in ITD, reads through the items and their associated BIB and HOLdings records, and the associated Circulation loan records. This report is similar to the CARL BLMREP.

Report Description:

The Count by SCMI program utilizes data from Z00 (HOL), Z30 (items), Z36 (loans) and Z36H (loans history). Z00 (HOL) includes information of HOL system number, sublibrary, collection, and call number. Z30 item records include information of an item's sub-library, collection, temporary location, call no., material type, item processing status, enumerations/chronologies, etc. Z36 includes active loan records whereas Z36H retains completed transactions.

Report Columns:


Sublib: The Aleph 6 letter code for sublibrary in the Z30 record.

Coll: The Aleph 6 letter code for collection in the Z30 record.

Matrl: The material type code from the Z30 record.

IS: Item status number in the Z30 record. You can refer to tab15 for a general description of the item statuses. (tab15 is password protected)

Bibs: The bibliographic counts only appear in the most specific SCMI combinations. There is a "-" when we could not provide a count of unique titles on the summary lines.

Hols: The holdings counts also only appear in the most specific SCMI combinations. If there are holdings without items they were not counted.

Items: All items were counted except for those explicitly excluded by Item Processing status.

Loans: Broken down into 4 subcolumns:

Frequency: ITD will run the standard report monthly to provide up-to-date USMAI statistics, which can be retrieved from the Aleph report page on the Web. You can submit a request for a customized, ad hoc, report to satisfy your campus specific needs for data inclusion, exclusion, call number ranges or range of dates through the Aleph Web Request Form.
