Off-the-Grid Reporting: A Few Handy Reports in Alma Analytics
Mike Rogers · 2019
Alma Analytics is an accessible tool for creating quick and easy analyses that can benefit departments across the library. In this session I'd like to demonstrate how we created a few off-the-grid (i.e. not as well known or obvious) reports that are regularly used by our staff. The titles of some of these include: Top 25 encumbrances plus everything else; Funds overview report; Bad diacritics in bibliographic records; Count of historical ILS loans plus current Alma loans; etc. If time permits I'd also like to demonstrate how to do a UNION and MINUS queries - two very helpful techniques for reporting. I can see this session benefiting new Alma Analytics users as well as those who have fairly significant experience. Hopefully we'll have time for others to share their own favorite off-the-grid reports!
