Usage, Collection Statistics & Digital Collection Review

In 2016 – 2017, the WPLC Statistics Workgroup worked to develop ways to help WPLC members gain an understanding of the statistics available to them through OverDrive and to help simplify the process of presenting that data. The Workgroup identified needed reports and statistics and developed some infographics and instructions for running these reports via OverDrive’s Marketplace.

Note: to access and run reports via Marketplace you will need an authorized username and password provided to all WPLC partner systems.

Digital Collection Review

The digital collection review is a biennial process undertaken by the Collection Development Committee.  The process evaluates concerns with the existing collection and the possibility of adding new products or formats by reviewing usage data, surveying patrons and libraries, and considering the product landscape. The workgroup makes a recommendation of how funds for the collection should be allocated for the following two years.
