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 it??)  Presents data both Avery specific and system-wide  ?Circ Desk uses several happening locations: Avery, Butler, BorrowDirect, HSL ReCAP Columbia University

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

8. ReCAP Columbia University  Charge volume at Avery has declined by 41.7% since FY04  System-wide there has been a 27.4% decline  Volume of discharge predictably mirrors charges  Other types of circulation activity happen in much lower volume  Majority of renewals occur in the OPAC happening location

9. ReCAP Columbia University  Closer look at patron group breakdown  More than half total charges were to ACO in FY12  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

17. 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 : 45.5% ◦ Architecture : 39.0% ◦ Offsite : 13.1%

23.  System-wide circulation statistics are available for both on campus and offsite collections  Circulation data are accessible to all staff Circulation data are accessible  Offsite collections can be identified by CLIO location format off,xxx.  System-wide data is available from July 2003, the date of Ex Libris Voyager implementation ReCAP Columbia University

24.  Comparison of on campus and offsite collection charges by volume  On campus charge volume declined by 27.4% between FY04 and FY12  On campus charges have declined every year since FY04  Offsite charge volume increased 121.3% between FY04 and FY12  N.B. On campus collection size declines each year; offsite collections grow each year ReCAP Columbia University

26.  Monthly charges of both onsite and off-site collections are in phase with the academic calendar  Peaks in the middle of Fall and Spring terms  The pattern of offsite charges is more apparent when viewed alone ReCAP Columbia University

29.  On campus and offsite charges can be compared using a ratio  The ratio of offsite to on campus increased from FY04 to FY012  Offsite collections are accounting for proportionally more activity ReCAP Columbia University

31.  Chart compares total volume of charges to renewals for Offsite collections  Graduate students and Faculty request more Offsite collections than Undergraduates  Graduate students and especially Faculty have higher renewal/charge ratios  Over time, these two patron groups tend to renew more than charge  CUL may expect to see steady or decreasing request volume as a result ReCAP Columbia University
