This report gives bibliographic data and over-time circulation data for a "single title," which is defined as a single "ISBN cluster" within the selected aggregates. Clusters are based on Catalog IDs with shared ISBNs.

Creating a Multi-Library Report

Search for a title by filling out the fields on the main criteria page for the Book Activity Report.

There are two tabs on the criteria screen. One for the Week by Week circulation report, and one for the Multi-Library circulation report.

The default setting for Aggregate is All Aggregates. The Quick Picks section shows recommended aggregates based on the ones you commonly use. To choose a different aggregate, click the Add/Edit Aggregate button to open a menu.

From there, you can filter aggregates based on: type, province, population density, population served, budget, tier, and branch focus. You can also search for specific aggregates by name or from a list.
