Titles
- What is the usage for specific bibliographic records in the library? For example, what is the usage for books published before the year 2000 that have a physical copy in the library?
- Which / how many bibliographic records do not have inventory of any type?
- How many loans were taken for bibliographic records according to LC (or any other) Classification?
- How many electronic portfolios are not related to any collections?
- Which collections received many link-resolver requests without services?
-
All fields in the Titles subject area are updated monthly except for specific fields in the Bibliographic Details dimension. The fields in the Bibliographic Details dimension are updated daily, except for the following, which are updated monthly: Author, ISBN, ISSN, MMS ID, Title, Title (Normalized), and Title Author Combined and Normalized. As a result, depending on how a report is made, the user may see what appear to be discrepancies until the measure fields are updated. For example, a title may be included in the Number of Titles (Active) measure field, but in the Bibliographic Details dimension have a value of Deleted in the Lifecycle field. This is because Number of Titles (Active) was not yet updated, while Lifecycle was already updated.

For information on using the Titles subject area to perform an overlap analysis of titles with both physical and electronic inventory, see Overlap Analysis and Physical Item Usage for Weeding (Deselection) in Alma Analytics.
