I-Share Annual Statistical Package for Alma Data

The reports included in the Annual Statistics Package have been designed by CARLI staff and CARLI committees to provide basic data to meet many of the reporting needs of the I-Share libraries. This document describes the reports in the statistics package and provides suggestions about how to use and interpret them.

NOTE: This page and the reports described cover only Alma data (for years 2021 onward).

CARLI staff shared information on this package in the January 2024 Alma Primo VE Open Office Hours.

1. General Information about the Annual Statistics Package

CARLI staff run most of these statistics on July 1 for all I-Share libraries. If your library has informed CARLI that your fiscal year begins on a date other than July 1, then you also receive statistics aligned with your fiscal year. A few of the reports are run more frequently, as noted below in the descriptions of the reports.

When the statistics are run by CARLI staff, they are deposited as Excel files in the CARLI ftp account belonging to your institution.

  • The name of each annual statistics file is given in the description of each report, below. 
  • The I-Share Liaison at your institution should know the username and password for your institution's CARLI ftp account; they may have shared this connection information with other staff as well. There is only one username/password per institution for the CARLI ftup account.
  • Remember that files are deleted from the ftp directory after 60 days. 
  • Each I-Share library should make sure that someone fetches and retains the files so that you have them when you need them.

Most of these statistics are also available as Alma Analytics analyses (the exceptions are some of the AFN statistics).

  • For the circulation and acquisitions analyses, you can run them in Analytics for other date ranges than the fiscal year reports you automatically receive from CARLI. 
  • For the collection analyses, you can run them at any time to get a snapshot of your collection for dates other than July 1. 

The Annual Statistics Package is but the tip of the iceberg in the world of I-Share statistics.

  • As you develop skill with Alma Analytics, you can use Analytics to write analyses to meet your own reporting needs.
  • You can also ask CARLI staff to write analyses to meet your needs.
  • Shared Analysis are being written and documented. They are available on the Analytics and Reports page under the Shared Analytics Reports section.
  • Please email the with comments and questions.

2. Description of the Reports in the Annual Statistics Package

2a. Collection Analysis (PHysical Resources)

Note: The Collection Analysis statistics are a snapshot of your collection at the time the statistic was created. 

From July 2017 to July 2020, Collection Stats 1-7 were generated using two approaches. The original approach, as described below, states the number of records in a library's database without consideration for suppression or status. The second approach states the number of records in a database that are unsuppressed, and visible to patrons in your public catalog. CARLI staff have decided to hold off on generating "second approach" reports at this time.

3. Tips on Using These Reports to Fill out Surveys from External Agencies

  • 3a. ILLINET Interlibrary Loan and Reciprocal Borrowing Survey, FY23
     
    • Important Note: Your library may have additional ILL data (like OCLC data) to add to the I-Share statistics described below.
       
    • Question 2.3: Details concerning materials requested through interlibrary loan: What was the total number of items requested by your library?
    • Question 2.4: Items received via ILL: ...details about Returnables and Non-returnables requested [received] via Interlibrary Loan..., In-State, Returnables
      • Answer: I-Share AFN Stat 4: Count of Home User's Requests for I-Share Items, see the column for "Filled Requests"
        • Note: We currently do not have a query to account for materials where the lending library marked the request as "filled", but then never sent the item, or to account for if the item became lost/waylaid in the delivery process.
    • Question 3.3: Details concerning requests received: What was the total number of interlibrary loan requests received by your library?
    • Question 3.4: Items supplied via ILL: ...details about Returnables and Non-Returnables supplied via Interlibrary Loan..., In-State, Returnables
    • Question 4.2: Reciprocal Borrowing: report the number of materials Loaned via reciprocal borrowing
      • Answer: Reciprocal Borrowing to I-Share Patrons FY 2023
      • Additionally, if your library provides access to community borrowers through reciprocal borrowing agreements, and those borrowers have a unique patron group at your library, include the count of charges from CIRC STAT 3 where the patron group name is your reciprocal borrowing patron group(s).

    • Physical Title counts can be answered in part by CARLI "Collection Stat 6: Comprehensive Bibliographic Record Count," which counts bibs by bib format.
    • Digital/Electronic Books/Databases: "I-Share Electronic Stat 1: Active Portfolios by Collection" or "I-Share Electronic Stat 2: Electronic Collections Active in NZ"; also available CARLI-Owned eBooks Statistics.
    • Interlibrary Services totals for "interlibrary loans provided" and "interlibrary loans received" may be answered in part with the I-Share statistics I-Share AFN Stat 4: Count of Home User's Requests for I-Share Items and I-Share AFN Stat 5: Count of I-Share User Requests for Your Institution's Items.

IPEDS, ACRL and ARL surveys use ANSI/NISO Z39.7-2013, Information Services and Use: Metrics & Statistics for Libraries and Information Providers – Data Dictionary : a joint glossary for library surveys.

CARLI does not compile the number of databases your library collection contains. Remember, however, to check your member library page for a listing of your purchased collections and the CARLI selection system for your licensed CARLI brokered e-resources.
