New Use by Bib report in Crystal Reports

A new "Use by Bib" report has been added to Crystal Reports.  This report is designed to let you know the use, both past and current year, of all items attached to a specific bibliographic record.  Enter the barcode for any item still in the system and the report will give you the usage information for the current year and all past years for all items on that bib record.  The report was originally requested by Eric Norton at McMillan to help determine if lost or damaged items should be replaced.

For more information about the report, see the About link for the report on the main ILS Reports page.
