[ISLMA-Share] Weeding Reports

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Here is the report I would run...


   - Library Reports > Library Title & Copy List
      1. Select by: *Circulation Type*
      2. Include: *Regular *(In our library, regular circulation are all
      books. No DVDs, equipment, etc.)
      3. Show Titles: *With all copies*
      4. Include:
      1. *Circulation statistics*
         2. *Only show copies that circulated: Less than 3 Total* (You can
         only select a date range of this year, this month, or total.)
      1. Output as: *Microsoft Excel *(I prefer Excel over PDF because I
      can sort the data if needed.)

This gave me a spreadsheet with only the books that have circulated the
number of times individual copies of books have circulated (less than 3
times). You might want to change #3 to only titles so you can see the
combined number of circs for the title.

I hope this is helpful
