Go to Create Lists Search Records Store Record Type - Checkin and Card also check the box to retain each box 1st Line Type=Checkin .... Here at UNH we use the RLOC to distinguish between either a title paid by Serials or Acquistions. I am only interested in the Serials end here so I fill in the code we use for RLOC Serials. Depending on your size library you may not use this function and it is not required. 2nd Line Operator=And Type=Checkin Box Status Equal to A (for Arrived) 3rd Line Operator=And Type=Checkin Transaction Between beginning date and end date Here at UNH we also use a 4th to break it down by location. Again this depends on the size of your library and if you have multiple locations as we do here. I save the search in Create List and can hit Retrieve Search each month and just update the transaction dates I want. This is a very accurate way to keep track of your monthly checkin totals. We have been using it here since we started with III close to 10 years now. If you do bind journals during the binding procedure we collapse the circulation statistics into the new item record - this is very helpful for Collection Department when it comes time to decide what titles stay and which get cancelled or transferred to online only. If there is anything else I or my supervisor Ann Cloutier can help you with please do not hesitate to contact either one of us.

You can run lists based on dates too and locations too. We use III Milleumium here at the University of NH - my boss and I are the Serials Queens! Let me know what you are looking for - my day is over at 1:45 today so if you don't hear back from me today I will email you on Wed.

We are using III Milenium. While there are piece counts in place for grand totals historic stats are not available that I know of and I would like to know if there is some simple, keyword, simple way to get to these?
