ppt is here

• ppt will be updated as Corey gets new examples / ideas, so take a peek periodically
• The Universe of Stats in Millennium
• transaction-based (circ / WebPac / WAM / financial
• requires action to appen
• counting things that are there
• don't forget stats have to be good for the lib / serve a need...don't let the stats control you!
• user manual = the road map
• this presentation = the travel guide!
• General hints:
• fixed fields and call numbers
• use system as central repository (not mish mash of misc things on different PCs and formats)
• every record has a "created" and "updated" date (updated changes with each circ) *maybe use this for my report on use of the business collection...consider / contemplate / and play with it
• can "view query" of all pre-done searches and see all the criteria / dates / initials...can re-run periodically -- "extract query"
• "millennium scheduler" is a "product"
