OPAC Statistics NCC can provide monthly statistics on OPAC usage. The statistical report contains data for all districts automated with LNOCA/NCC.

OPAC Statistics Questions / Discussion: 1. Are there any concerns with NCC ing the full statistical report, which will contain data for all districts? 2. Should the report be sent just to the LLIS or to all library staff? Sidebar: Monthly Circulation Statistics NCC can also monthly circulation statistics. Since these reports can be generated by library staff, is this needed? It’s ‘all districts or nothing’ on this one.
