Reporting and alerts

Find an overview of the reporting and alerts features available in OLIB Service Pack 12.

The Reports Repository

Since Service Pack 11, all new and amended OLIB reports are available via an OLIB Reports Repository which is hosted and maintained by OCLC. The list of reports in the repository can be accessed via the OLIB Users Site or can be viewed in your browser using the following link:

https://reports.olib.oclc.org/repository/GETReport.jsp?reportno=-33

OLIB Reports are not released as part of a Service Pack, instead, reports are released and made available during the year to the repository for libraries to download.

Here are a list of existing OLIB reports that have been converted for use with the new Reports module., or existing reports that been enhanced.

New Reports added to Reports Repository

CA013d Area/Trust Bulletin

This report has been converted for the new OLIB Reports. The report lists titles linked to the bulletin number (a title control number) specified in Parameter 1. The bibliographic data is displayed using an ISBD-like display.

The report lists the copy location and shelfmark for all copy records at a location in the area specified in Parameter 2.

The report is grouped and sorted by the Bulletin subjects linked to the titles, and within that by author, then by title.

CA013d is designed to be run as a GETStream report in a browser. If another output type is required, it is recommended that the report is copied to a new report.

CI029 list of overdue items

This report has been converted for the new OLIB Reports. Details included in the report are: user, user barcode, user category, copy barcode, title, due date and number of days overdue. The list is sorted by user name, number of days overdue (most overdue first) and title.

There are no parameters for this report.
