Everyone:

 

As you know, I have been reporting out researchIT CT RBDigital downloadable eAudiobook and eBook usage statistics on a monthly basis for quite some time. Very recently Recorded Books updated my admin account to display statistical reporting functions that I was unaware were available to me until now. This admin update makes it clear that I have been reporting only parent account usage ("iCONN") of our statewide collection without including child account usage (individual libraries). Therefore, I have generated new, corrected eAudiobook and eBook usage reports for January 2019.  Those new reports replace the original reports here:

 

eAudiobooks:

eBooks:

From the above you will notice:

•Statistics in the original January report were underreported for the state as a whole

•Individual child accounts are broken out by library name

 

You can now find your library by name in column A of both reports and sum your circulations from there.

 

To correct statewide usage for the first half of FY 2019, I have generated eAudiobook and eBook usage reports (one each) for the time period July 1 - December 31, 2018 and have placed them in the above boxes, respectively.  Here too you can find your individual library in column A in order to sum your circulations for that six-month period.
