2021 ILL statistics going away

Each New Year's Day, old statistics are purged from the NHAIS ILL System. If you need ILL stats from 2021, be sure to download them by Dec. 31. Statistical information is retained in the ILL program for the current year plus the previous 2 full calendar years, even for requests that have been deleted. Starting January 1 the stats will cover transactions from 2022 through 2024.

Looking for a quick count of your loans and borrows? Go to Staff Dashboard > Statistics > Activity and Request Reports, enter a date range, choose a format (HTML is usually fastest), choose Net Activity, and click Submit. (See a February NHAIS Notes post for more about this.)


While most of the reports available in the system give you counts of loans and borrows for a certain period, if you're interested in details like title, author, format, date/time of request creation, and final disposition of request, check out the reports called Request Records (for your borrowing activity) or Lender Response Records (for your lending activity).


The Request Records and Lender Response Records reports are only available as spreadsheets so you must select EXCEL as the output format.

A 12-minute video on Finding Your ILL Statistics is available on YouTube. Still have questions? Contact the NHAIS Help Desk by e-mail or phone 603-271-2141.
