How can I get a list of most lent titles ?
Would you like to rank the documents you've borrowed the most? Here's how:
- In the Titles file, create a selection of titles to be listed (e.g. only adult novels, children's books, documentaries, or all the titles in your library).
- In the File menu, select Print (to obtain a printed list) or Export (to obtain a digital list that can be opened in a spreadsheet).
- Select the Number of loans format. In the format options, specify the desired period (one or more months or years), optionally filter by minimum and maximum number of loans, and tick the Sort by number of loans box. Select the type of loan (Loans, Renewals, Loans and renewals, etc.) and generate your list.
- If you have chosen export, you will need to specify a name for the file and a location on disk. You can then open this text file with a spreadsheet program and obtain the various data in separate columns: Shelf mark, Title, Title Number and Type, Last borrowed date and Number of loans during the selected period. You can then sort the list by any of the report columns.
By default, the most frequently borrowed titles in the selected period appear at the top of the list. At the bottom of the list are titles that are rarely or never borrowed.
