<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Helen (and all),</div><div><br></div><div>I did get a response from Sarah Delano at OverDrive about that message in the Purchased Titles report and I will share it with the list. I didn't realize that there is a total count of holdings in the upper corner of the screen on the Title Usage report so I am glad that I asked, and most likely I will use this report going forward to get the most accurate info. Having said that, it does sound like the Purchased Titles report still works pretty well, but it won't provide the total count of licenses that some libraries wanted. I'm pasting Sarah's more detailed response to me below, but I'm not sure if the embedded image will come through on the listserv.</div><div><br></div><div>*********************</div><div>Hi Shawn,</div><div><br></div><div>I believe this message is due to the fact that libraries were looking for exact license counts which unfortunately are not in the Purchased Titles report. I do admit that we have fine-tuned the Title Status and Usage report when it comes to a more accurate number for the overall title count. There is an easy way to use this report as well thankfully! When running for the usual settings, instead of adding everything up as you may have done previously, please look in the upper right hand corner of the report. This will be your overall count number. <u></u><u></u><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"arial",sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"arial",sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.5in"><span style="font-family:"arial",sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><img width="376" height="91" class="gmail-CToWUd" id="gmail-m_-7061365729138820583Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image003.png@01D23C09.C2EBA100"></span><span style="font-family:"arial",sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"arial",sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"arial",sans-serif;font-size:10pt">In this case, I ran for all time and got 7,393, which is the same number you would get from running a blank advance search on the new site. When running Purchased titles, the overall title count comes out to 7,354 which is a bit lower, but still close! I am not sure why there is a 40 title discrepancy, it may be due to the lending model type or a status in the collection. We do have libraries that use both reports for what they need and I will let our Marketplace Team know that you find the Purchased titles report easier to use. I apologize for this confusion, but I am hoping I can make it as easy as I can for finding what you need! <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"arial",sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><u></u> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"arial",sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Please let me know if I can help with anything else today or answer any other questions. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"arial",sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;font-family:"arial",sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Thanks,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;font-family:"arial",sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Sarah<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div>********************************</div><div>Shawn Andary, ALS System Admin</div><div>UP Region of Library Cooperation</div><div>1615 Presque Isle Ave</div><div>Marquette, MI 49855</div><div>v (906)226-4675 Ext. 4</div><div>f (906)228-5627</div><div> </div><div>********************************</div></div></div>

Thank you for sharing this method.<br>
<br>
I tried it, and I see at the top of the Purchased Titles report a
note:
<p class="MsoNormal">" This report does not display the total number
of units or
licenses currently in your collection. See the Title status &
usage report
for information about your current holdings. "<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
That report, run with the same dates (starting 1/1/2009 and ending
6/30/2016), produces a different total! Is that because of
licenses??<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
This is confusing.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
