We've posted a 6 month summary (July - December 2006) of LINC Interlibrary Loan, Reciprocal Borrowing, and Circulation statistics. At this web site is an explanation of how the statistics were produced, as well as the statistical tables themselves.
-Interlibrary Loan data, which tracks where your materials circulate and what you circulate that belongs to other locations, is available for all libraries.
-Reciprocal Borrowing data, which tracks where your patrons go to borrow materials as well as what patrons used your location, applies to public libraries only.
-Circulation Statistics, which is a summary of all checkouts and renewals at your location, is available for all libraries.
We will post an additional 6 month summary (January - June 2007) in July. Libraries that need individual monthly data should use the WebReporter reports referenced in the statistical explanations to produce those monthly reports.
Thank you for this summary. Would it be possible to provide the stats in Excel or tab-delimited form?

It is great to have this data easily available. However. JCN appears twice on the circulation statistics.

If one checks out the statistics for Urbana Free Library, the actually number of interloans is 24,566. The statistics have 92,089 interloans from URC (Urbana's Children's Department) to URN -- which should obviously be part of our regular circulation.
