PrairieCat IPLAR Reports Training and Workshop

This training session will focus on gathering IPLAR statistical data. To gather the data, we’ll use 4 PrairieCat-supplied reports (with tips to isolate your library’s data) and 1 Decision Center report that you will need to run for your library. The session will only cover the Sierra-specific data, not 3rd-party data such as OCLC, Overdrive, or eRead Illinois statistics. This session will be a workshop format and participants will have the opportunity to follow the steps and gather their library’s statistics.

This session will take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.

Who should attend? These sessions are useful for all PrairieCat public libraries, whether you’re fully participating, basic online, or union list.

The specific IPLAR questions that will be answered are:

16.1 through 16.5 (Registered Users)

17.1 through 17.6d (Resources Owned)

18.1 through 18.10 (Resources Used)

18.16 through 18.17 (Interlibrary Loans)

This session will not be recorded.
