As much as I would love to consider a monthly or even quarterly report, annually might be where I start. As far as what I would like to include:
- circulation statistics - post popular books, increase in check outs?
- average age of the collection
- average number of check outs per student
- checks by grade levels
- ILL numbers -- what we send and recieve
- number of new books - break out of the number added through our "adopt-a-book" program in the spring
- database usage
- new projects done
- highlights like - December is Coding Month, addition of PLTW, etc.
- improvements- sorting the E sections and creating and Easy Reader section, plus display shelves
- number of weeded materials
- stats for digital books -- overdrive vs tumblebooks vs bookflix
- possible goals - more collaboration, more tech opportunities
- number of students and staff seen each week/month
- author visits
I thought the information on Debra Kachel's Annual Report Guide was very interesting as well. I need to print it out and highlight a few things I would like to concentrate more on.
As a working document, I signed up for https://www.easel.ly/ and will see if I can create something "quick and easy" I can manage in very little time. Now have a working template that I can add things to and change when needed.
Terrific! So glad you're using this set of lessons to get going on outline what you want to include, setting up templates, etc. So much easier when you've got some of the pieces already in place.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Plus I thought this morning that Follett once you have loaded a current collection, will also display the information in an infographic! So I am going back to edit and add some more of those small details that mean a lot! Thanks!
