Your ILL Statistics

As it is once again time to collect NH library statistics, I thought a review of how you can find information on your NHAIS ILL activity would be in order. Here is what you need to do:

  1. Log in to the NHAIS ILL system
  2. Click on the blue box next to Administrative Functions (under Miscellaneous)
  3. Click on the blue box next to Statistics Report (under Miscellaneous)
  4. Click on the blue box next to Display Loan/Borrow Summary Statistics
  5. Using the drop down boxes, select the start and end dates (inclusive) that you want statistics for -- start date: Jan 2006, end date: Dec 2006 for example
  6. If you want a copy of the statistics emailed to the ILL email address on file for your library (the one where you get unfilled notices) then click in the check-box next to "email report"
  7. Click on the blue box next to Display Statistics

After a moment (or two) your report will display. All the libraries in the NHAIS system are listed in the report with the number of items your library borrowed FROM each of them (the top section of the report), and the number of items your library loaned TO each of them (the bottom section of the report). Totals for each section are at the end of the section.

If you had the report mailed to you it will come from nobody@Centre.library.state.nh.us, so you may need to check your "junk" folder or other email filter location for the report if you don't see it right away.
