As a person who needs to track our statistics, I look forward to the day when everyone is automated and all of our statistics are tracked by the computer. For now, I can see tracked statistics for our automated branches only.
In the first quarter of 2010, we are just under 1% ahead on our tracked circulations (does not include uncatalogued materials).
Circulation by type
Within this, we are ahead by 2.5% on adult fiction, 2% on adult non-fiction, and 5% on adult paperbacks. DVD use has increased by about 400% (indicating the success of our popular DVD collection), while VHS tapes continue to dwindle in popularity. Circulation of talking books is up by around 4%. Circulation on items for children and youth are down somewhat, most likely reflecting an ordering lag that occurred due to staff shortages in 2009.
Well, that was an exciting interlude! Now back to working on the 2011 budget.
