About

MCLS provides libraries with the tools and training to better serve their communities.
RIDES

RIDES is Michigan’s statewide library courier service.
MeLCat is the centralized union catalog and resource sharing service created to share materials among all types of libraries in Michigan, regardless of the local circulation system they use.
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).
