Field Descriptions
The following lists the fields available in Course Reserves.
Reading List Citations
A reading list citation is a set of attributes that are associated with a citation in a list. It is not the metadata of the citation, but additional attributes that are not metadata, such as due dates, public notes, etc.
The Reading List Citation table is a fact table that stores the measures relating to the number of citations. This table also holds details about the citation, including citation creator, citation status, and citation type. The primary key of the table is CITATION ID.
For more information, see Leganto Analytics for Library. (6:58 min)

Bibliographic Details
The Bibliographic Details table is a dimension table that stores the bibliographic details of the course reserves. The primary key of the table is BIB_ID.
The field descriptions can be found in the Bibliographic Details shared dimension.
Ex Libris works with content providers worldwide to enrich the metadata available in the Alma Community Zone. To enrich the journal/serial content in the CZ, we work directly with the Library of Congress CONSER feed for electronic serials, which we match against our knowledge base to enrich with all of the relevant metadata fields that they supply (for more details, see Community Zone Serial Records Enrichment) and enrich the CZ records with all relevant metadata, including the 050 fields (when available). In the case of book content, we work with multiple providers who are willing to share their metadata with the Alma community globally (for more details, see Community Zone Monograph Records Enrichment). If you have local access to these classifications, you may want to consider working with the local extension for these records whenever an update is not available. (For more details, see Working with Local Extension Fields for Community Zone-linked Records.)
The Bibliographic Details table contains two kinds of fields, those derived from the MARC record and those that come from Alma. Although in analytics there is no distinction made between these fields, for explanatory purposes we have divided them into two tables below.

The field descriptions can be found in the User Details shared dimension.
- Many institutions store information about individuals, including personal details and information about their activities. Due to privacy concerns, some institutions are required to anonymize the data on a regular basis.

- You can configure Alma to delete the more specific information (for example, User ID) and retain the more general user information (for example, User Group and Job Title).
- The information that is not anonymized can be included in Analytics reports.
- For more information concerning anonymization, see Security and Data Privacy.
