[Wactclc-alma] Weeding reports

[Guidry, Wade]

Based on Coleen's recent weeding use-cases, I've created 3 weeding reports in the WACTCLC analytics consortium folder:


/shared/Community/Reports/Consortia/WACTCLC/Weeding


The reports are:

Titles with Multiple Material Types

A list of titles with multiple material types attached.

Includes locations, but does not include the associated material types, just the fact that a title has more than one material type.

There are more sophisticated ways of doing this (pivot tables, more complex formulas).

But this is the simplest way to get to a usable list for most use-cases.

Weeding report based on last loan date and creation date

This analysis finds items that have not circulated since a certain date (or at all), and that were created prior to a certain date.

You can adjust the analysis by adjusting the dates in the filters.

Titles with electronic portfolios and physical items

This analysis identifies title records containing both electronic portfolios and physical items.

This analysis looks for electronic portfolios and physical items on the same title record.

If that is not your cataloging practice, this analysis will not find anything

Duplicate or the Same Titles with Electronic Portfolios AND Physical Items

If you suspect you have duplicate titles with some combination of electronic portfolios and physical items, you can try this analysis.

This analysis uses multiple subject areas (title, e-inventory, physical item) in an attempt to identify title records with some combination of portfolios and items across those duplicated titles.

Like the analysis above, this one may not find anything, depending on your cataloging practices.
