Notes
1.
Q: When is the data updated? A: The data shows trends in circulation on a six-month basis and will be updated biannually. Each row contains the date range during which the item was checked out as well as the exact date of the last checkout.
2.
Q: Where does the data come from? A: The library uses Koha open source software to manage its collection.
3.
Q: What does “circulated” mean? A: An item has circulated when it is loaned to a library patron, that loan is renewed, or an in-house use is recorded. Library staff record in-house use in the catalog for items that are read or otherwise interacted with by patrons inside the library. In the dataset, in-house use is included in total checkouts, but a corresponding checkout date is not displayed in the LastCheckoutDate column.
4.
The same title may be popular over multiple six-month periods. The DateRange column is included to differentiate between these occurrences.
5.
Q: Why are some values blank? A. Because this data is pulled directly from a library catalog (Koha), missing values correspond to empty fields in Koha.
