<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I think it would be very useful to have standard reports in Alma that can generate the needed information for IPEDS. The instructions in IPEDS are very detailed and I am not sure we have a lot of interpretation
wiggle-room. However, having a report that provides print circulation only (removing computer circulation) and a report that provides the total number of print titles, would be extremely helpful. In the three years since the Academic Library Survey became
a standard part of the annual IPEDS report, they have changed parts of it each year. That is part of the challenge.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I am just finishing up our 7-Year accreditation visit today. One report requested that caught us off-guard was an Age of Collection Report. In Millennium (a system with which our evaluator was familiar) this
report is canned and easy to access. Not so, Alma. Wade worked very hard last night devising an Age of Collection Report. I am very grateful to him. This report is very useful for collection development and to support budget requests. I think it would
be helpful to have this report available to all of us. Our evaluator was happy. Kudos to Wade!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At one of this week’s WACTCLC meetings, a report was reviewed in Alma that was developed outside of Washington for another academic library’s IPEDS data needs. It struck a lot of folks on that call as a potentially useful way of streamlining
data collection for IPEDS that is otherwise a hassle to harvest.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyway, Sally Heilstedt and I spoke about how it might be an appropriate conversation to have with LLC—that is, how IPEDS data submission can be interpreted in multiple ways and how it might be valuable to have some kind of baseline/universal
description of what WA libraries are submitting, and even an agreed-upon Alma report for even further standardization.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question is: if this does fall under LLC’s purview and interest, then where and when do we have this conversation?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
