Nuove funzionalità e miglioramenti
Quickly see your library’s lending and borrowing turnaround times
You can now easily see your lending and borrowing turnaround time averages on the WorldShare Interlibrary Loan home page with the new turnaround time dashboard. The dashboard helps you evaluate how quickly borrowed items are getting to your patrons as well as how quickly your library is filling lending requests from other libraries. It also makes viewing turnaround times more convenient by eliminating the steps of logging in and downloading reports.
What data is available from the dashboard?
- The charts dashboard displays 365 days, on a rolling basis.
- Weekly averages serve as individual data points, and the most recently available figures are from the previous week.
- Separate data points are shown for copies and loans.
Data definitions
- Prestito
- Request produced (when the request is first sent to lenders) to borrower received (when the borrower marks the item as received). This is the same way that borrowing turnaround time is calculated elsewhere.
- Prestito
- Turnaround time values are calculated differently from lending turnaround time expressed elsewhere. Here, it is defined as:
- Lender assigned (when your library is first assigned the lending request) to borrower received (when the borrowing library marks the item as received)
- This figure takes into account shipping time, whereas the other lender turnaround time value reflects lender assigned to lender shipped.
- You can see the impact of shipping time by comparing monthly lending turnaround time figures in OCLC Usage Statistics (Lender Activity Overview Report) to what is seen in the turnaround time charts on the WorldShare Interlibrary Loan home page. The difference between the two values reflects the impact of shipping time.
- Lender assigned (when your library is first assigned the lending request) to borrower received (when the borrowing library marks the item as received)
- Turnaround time values are calculated differently from lending turnaround time expressed elsewhere. Here, it is defined as:
How can this data be used?
- Become more aware of your turnaround statistics over time.
- Track the impact of workflow changes you make to your ILL process.
- As a borrower, take advantage of new smart fulfillment features like using automated request manager to build smart lender strings.
- As a lender, get set up for real-time availability so you do not receive requests for items that are checked out, missing, in repair, etc.
How can I improve my library’s turnaround time?
You can make improvements by using smart fullfillment features, as well as considering these tips to Improve turnaround time.
