Average and maximum Supply times by supplier

This counts supply days for the fulfilled requests received by your library from other libraries or suppliers. The performance figures show the average and maximum days for each of your library’s suppliers. This is calculated on the received date minus the entry date of the request.

Average and Maximum Supply Times to Requestors

This counts supply days for the requests made to your library by other libraries. It measures the performance of your own library at supplying material. This is calculated on the shipped date of the request minus the request date.

BL Claim Form for Responder

This option produces a report which can be sent to the British Library so you can claim payment for non-IFM loans you have supplied as a lender.

Batch Reruns

This is a menu of reports originally printed from the Work Queue (Pick List, Received List, Returned List) that may be reprinted. For the Pick List, the current Request status is updated to show materials that have already been processed and do not require retrieving for request fulfilment. Batch numbers are unique for each type of report per location. If you do not select a Start and End Date you will be presented with all the Work Queue reports that were run in the previous week.

You can also access Batch Reruns by using the button in the menu bar.  If you do this you will be presented with any Work Queue reports that have been run in the previous week.

CIPFA Stats Report

British Public Libraries are required to submit CIPFA statistics reports once a year. CIPFA is the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy. This report provides a per location CIPFA Statistics report that can be run between any two dates.

 Caution: CIPFA Statistical requirements can change from year to year - the current report is based on 2009 requirements.

 Caution: The report is based on the location associated with your login account.

To run the report, go to the Reports area of UnityUK by clicking the Reports button in the menu bar.

Then select the option CIPFA Stats Report:

At the foot of the page, select the date range you want to run the report for, and click Generate Report.

The report will appear on the screen.

 Caution: The Number of requested books supplied within 30 days (includes those at 7 and 15 days).

The annual CIPFA report form includes two sections that require interlibrary loan statistics to be entered - the UnityUK report provides the numbers required to complete sections 7 and 11 of the current CIPFA form:

• Section 7 - Book Requests Service
  • Number of requested books supplied within 7 days
  • Number of requested books supplied within 15 days (including those at 7 days)
  • Number of requested books supplied within 30 days (includes those at 15 days)
• Section 11 - Interlibrary loans for the year
  • Interlibrary loans supplied to other libraries
  • Interlibrary loans received from other libraries

 Caution: This report shows the actual number of requests satisfied within 'N' [number of] days as well as a total of all requests satisfied - these numbers can be used by the library staff to calculate the percentages for themselves.
