Title Details

The title details page includes Bibliographic Information, Circulation Analysis, and Graphical Charts.

Bibliographic Information

Bibliographic information that appears on the Title Details page comes from you site's bib record. The Price per Copy is the average expenditure amount per copy over the last two years.

The bibliographic information includes the following fields, whenever they are available:

  • Title
  • Author
  • Material Type
  • Language
  • Record Number (bib number) link to catalog
  • ISBN
  • Price per Copy

Circulation Analysis

The demand and supply analysis consists of the following:

Demand = total of holds placed in the past 30 days + total non-hold (walk-in) circulations in the past 30 days

Supply = number of available copies (includes on order copies) x the number of potential circulations per copy per month (based on a calculation of average time in various statuses by item type/location code combination)

The copies total in the circulation analysis section includes on-order copies with an order record status of o (on order) or q (partially paid) and items currently in the collection that do not have excluded item statues.

Graphical Charts

Decision Center provides three graphical charts.

Supply/Demand Over Time

A line graph of data points showing changes in Supply and Demand over time.

The amount of time between data points depends on the length of time since the title’s existence.

Patron Wait Time

A scatter graph plotting the time required to fill each individual hold. The amount of time shown depends on the length of time since the title’s existence.

Lifecycle (Last 90 Days)

A pie chart visualization of the relative time total copies have spent in 1 of 4 statuses:

  • available
  • checked out
  • on holdshelf
  • in transit

When you hover the mouse pointer over a slice of the pie chart, the number shown indicates the total number of days all copies have spent in that status during the past 90 days. For example, if there are 10 copies of a title and each copy spent 10 days on the hold shelf in the past 90 days, the number is "100" for that slice of the pie. The percentage value is relative to the other slice totals.
