1. 1 Overview SUNY Business Intelligence Initiative (SBII) Library Dashboards Circulation Analysis Collection Analysis

2. What is SBII? The SUNY Business Intelligence Initiative (SBII) is a SUNY-wide effort to provide data analysis and reporting tools for a wide range of university information. SBII is using the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) software tools. An article in SUNYergy provides an overview of the project: http://www.sunyconnect.suny.edu/sunyergy/40S BII.htmhttp://www.sunyconnect.suny.edu/sunyergy/40S BII.htm 2

3. Purpose of the Circulation and Collection Reports analyze and compare aggregate holdings –SUNY-wide –by SUNY sectors, by regions, and campus defined peer groups compare data between/among selected campuses and sectors/regions access collection usage using circulation information analyze circulation activity by patron status 3

4. Purpose of the Reports cont’d analyze collections, circulation activity and patron status usage by subject, publication date, language, format, other qualifiers (secondary formats, material description, target audience, form of item, government publication) determine collection age and rate of growth view overlaps and gaps of the SUNY Library Collection identify unique campus holdings 4

5. Not a Campus-Specific Tool The goal of these dashboards is to provide for SUNY wide collection analysis rather than create a specific campus reporting tool. 5

In addition, circulation activity can be analyzed by year of circulation, patron type and by lending policy. 9

You do not need to set values for every prompt. You can set any combination of prompts that you desire, leaving the rest blank. If you do not set a value for a given prompt, then the data will not contain any filters on that given prompt column. 25

26. Three Selection Groups The prompt columns have been divided into three Selection Groups: –Campus Selections –Bibliographic Selections –Other Selections 26

28. Prompts Page Selections Campus Selections –Campus Type Description - based on SUNY System Administration definitions –Campus Name –3R Region LAND Zone 28

29. Bibliographic Selections –Division –Category –Format –Secondary Format –Language –Reproduction Type –Target Audience –Government/Non-Government Type 29

30. Other Prompts Selections –Circulation Year –Publication Year Range –Publication Year –Lending Policy 30

31. Making Your Prompts Selections Make your selections from one of the 3 Selections categories In the Selection pop-up window, be sure to click OK to exit after making your choices After exiting the Selection window, click the Go button to save your Selections before moving on to a new category. NOTE: All prompt selections are constrained only within their own categories. 31

32. compare to previous slide Each Selection Group has its own Go button. If you choose to set the prompts in a given Selection Group, you must press the Go button within that Selection Group before proceeding; otherwise, your selections will not be saved and will not take effect. After pressing any of the Go buttons, a message below the prompts will display the number of Matching Bib Records Found based on your selected criteria. Within each Selection Group, the lists of available prompt values will be narrowed down based on your other prompt selections within that Selection Group. For example, suppose you select “Comprehensive Colleges” as your criteria for the Campus Type Description. If you then go to select a Campus Name, in the Campus Name list you will only see the campuses that are categorized as “Comprehensive Colleges”. This dynamic list value filtering does not exist between columns in different Selection Groups, it only occurs for columns within the same Selection Group. 32
