  • Count materials added within a date range - Check this box if you want to limit the report to include only resources purchased within a specific range of dates. You can then enter the starting and ending dates.

  • Include materials with the following statuses - Select which resource status(es) you want to be counted in the report. For example, if you want to see counts for only resources that are on loan, check the On Loan box and un-check the others. Typically, you would not count withdrawn resources on this report, so you would make sure the Withdrawn from Collection box is not checked.

  • Count only materials that have been physically inventoried - If checked, the report will include only resources that have been inventoried using Physical Inventory Process.

  • Use LC call field / Use local call number - Select whether to use the LC Call Number field (050$a) in MARC records or your local call number to get the classifications for the report. You should select to use local call numbers only if your library's call numbers are using the Library of Congress system. Otherwise, select to use LC call field.

  • Show subclass detail - Check this box to show detail at the subclassification (2 letters) detail instead of the main classification detail (1 letter).
