Popular Books Report

What it is:   A Popular Books Report lets you see the top titles ranked by highest loans, holds, holds per copy, renewals, or on-order quantities in a selected reporting period. You have the option to narrow by search criteria like subject category or pub date, or you can view circulation info for a specific list of titles by searching by ISBN. 

What it isn't: A list of bestselling titles in the retail market. For that, use the Bestseller Report in SalesData. Or - for a comparison of circulation and retail sales - you can use the Bestseller Circ Report.

Book Activity Report

What it is: The Book Activity report allows you to view the circulation and inventory data for a single ISBN cluster. There are two sub-types of Book Activity report. Week by Week, to track the performance of an item over time; or you can view the Multi-Library data, to compare the performance of the item across multiple Library Aggregates. 

What it isn't: A report on a single ISBN. In LibraryData, a single title is defined as a single ISBN cluster, within the selected aggregate. Clusters are based on Catalog IDs with shared ISBNs. It's also important to remember that LibraryData is not a complete history of all sales of all books across Canada for all time. LibraryData launched in June 2019 with a select library panel that will grow and change over time, much like the book marketplace as a whole.
