2.  Looks at Avery Library circulation activity  Is only one measure of collection usage  Majority of Avery collections are non- circulating  No circulation data for non-circulating collections (or is there…?)  Circ Desk uses several happening locations: Avery, Butler, BorrowDirect, HSL  Separate presentation available for system- wide data and analysis ReCAP Columbia University

3. ReCAP Columbia University  Five primary types of circulation activity: charge, discharge, renewal, recall and hold  Most renewals and recalls are performed dynamically by patrons in the OPAC happening location  Note: circulation data for Avery includes both on- campus and Offsite collections  Five primary patron groups: ◦ ACO ◦ GRD ◦ REG ◦ OFF ◦ VIS

6. ReCAP Columbia University  Charge volume at Avery in FY13 is 53.1% of FY04  System-wide it is 67.7% of FY04  Volume of discharge predictably mirrors charges  Other types of circulation activity happen in much lower volume  Renewals, recalls and holds occur primarily via CLIO

7. ReCAP Columbia University  Over time Reserves and Ware have taken a smaller share of activity  Likely linked to transfer of Ware collections to ReCAP  Offsite activity has doubled as transfers continue  Charges for non-circulating collections are made to carrels and offices but do not accurately reflect aggregate usage

10. ReCAP Columbia University  Architecture, Fine Arts and Offsite collections are commonly charged to patron group ACO (carrels and offices)  Circulating Ware collections are charged to all user groups  Note: Offsite Ware collections can be delivered to any department library  Reserve collections have shown steep decline likely due to transition to e-reserves

16. ReCAP Columbia University  Patron Group definitions have changed: ◦ Adjunct faculty, in 2008 grad students were given primary group OFF instead of GRD  Steady level of charges to patron group ACO  Declines for Reserves and Ware  Suggests primary, on-shelf collections maintain usage for past decade  Declining usage of hardcopy Reserves has put most dramatic effect on overall circulation statistics

20. ReCAP Columbia University  Closer look at patron group breakdown  More than half total charges were to ACO in FY13  Patron Group definitions have changed: ◦ Adjunct faculty, in 2008 grad students were given primary group OFF instead of GRD  Monthly patterns fit seasonal curves of academic calendar

24. ReCAP Columbia University  Charges to ACO (carrels) account for greater portion of activity  Graduate students are the single largest user group  “Faculty” usage likely due to grad students with temporary OFF borrowing privileges

27. ReCAP Columbia University  Data includes all fiscal years  Usage data by patron group differs dramatically for ACO  95+% of activity for regular patron groups is for Reserves and Ware  ACO ◦ Fine Arts : 45.0% ◦ Architecture : 38.4% ◦ Offsite : 13.8%
