End of Year - Reporting


Some libraries want to submit reports to their administrators with statistical information at the end of the school year. Here are some ideas:

To find the number of items added to the collection during the school year: Reports>Library>Title & Copy list. Choose from the dropdown choices: ‘Date Copies Added’, ‘After the Date’. You can choose to display the report in XL format or as a PDF.

To find the items deleted/weeded: Reports>Library Reports> Weeding Log. Select the date ranges needed; by month, school year, calendar year.

Circulation statistics. Circulation>Library Information. Choose a date range.

BEDS information: Reports>Library Reports>Statistics>Collection Statistics Summary

 
If you'd like more information or have questions about reporting features in Destiny, do not hesitate to contact the Library Automation Team.
