Hi All,
We have had several requests recently for an easy way to access current/last year's circulation stats for items, without having to create reports totalling these numbers. The numbers here are used for weeding, state reporting, etc.
Other systems have fields: 'Year to date circ' and 'last year circ'
We have discussed several possible developments:
- a new table to track these
- adding a new field, or altering 'issues' to use JSON and storing circ/renewal counts by year
- adding two new fields to the items table and use a cronjob to move 'current year' circ to 'last years circ' at the end of the year.
We wanted to check in with the community to see if this is a request that others have or have seen, and how they handle these.
Thanks for any info.
