About MeLCat Title Reports

What are MeLCat Title Reports?

The MeLCat Title Reports enable you to analyze MeLCat borrowing and lending patterns at your library. Using these, we are able to give you specific title information on filled requests, unfilled requests and loaned items. You can find out what MeLCat titles your patrons have requested, which of those requests were filled and which ones were not. You will also be able to see what titles you have loaned out to other MeLCat libraries. These reports are designed as a tool to assist you in collection development. Report will be delivered in .xlsx format. Example of report output.

An archive of MeLCat statistics can still be found on the MeLCat wiki (password protected).

Report Types

  • Filled Requests: Requests placed by your patrons that were filled by another library.
  • Unfilled Requests: Requests placed by your patrons that were not filled by another library.
  • Loaned Items: All items your library loaned out to patrons at other libraries.
