Librarians, you may notice that if you run your activity reports by specific formats, you might not come up with numbers that sum up correctly when you run the report by all formats. For the best results, run your reports with all formats and sum up eBooks and audiobooks separately.
- Log into Content Reserve >> open the "Reports" tab >> select "Circulation Activity."
- Run "Checkouts by Format."
- Select your library (Branch)
- Select "All Formats."
- Select the start and end dates.
- Run the report.
The report will show the number of each format checked out during that time period. Using a calculator or formulas in Excel, total up the eBooks and audiobooks separately.
Note that the PDF titles are typically the PDFs attached to "enhanced" audiobooks.
Here's an explanation from OverDrive about the "pending" titles:
When a user completes a checkout or an audiobook or eBook (not a download), the checkout shows in CR as ‘Pending’. This is the nature of One-Step Checkout since the user does not select their format type at check out.
Once a user selects a format (EPUB, Kindle, etc.), the checkout is moved to the appropriate format (i.e., no longer counted as ‘Pending’).
If a user clicks ‘Read’, the checkout is attributed to OverDrive Read. However, if that user then downloads the EPUB format, the checkout moves to EPUB and is no longer counted for OverDrive Read. In other words, no checkout would be counted twice.
You can also export the data to a spreadsheet by clicking the "Create worksheet" button.
