From the LibCentral DASHBOARD, you can get a list of all the OWNED titles (one line per unique title). In contrast, the Expenditure Report includes a separate line for every transaction (STL, credit, purchase) for each book. These two reports include very different information and aren't easily compared - in particular, do not expect the number of lines in the Expenditure Report to be the same as the number of owned titles.
From LibCentral
DASHBOARD, click “
OWNED” titles, click “
Export Results”, choose
CSV:
- One line per book – so number of rows equals number of unique books owned
- To see if there are multiple purchased copies for a given book, see the column “Owned”
From LibCentral “
Reports” tab, “
Expenditure Report”, do a
blank search (no special settings)
- One line per transaction – so number of rows likely to be larger than number of unique books owned
- Separate line for each STL
- Separate line for each ATO
- Separate line for each credit
- Separate line for each copy of the book purchased separately
From LibCentral “
Reports” tab, “
Expenditure Report”, “
View Expenditure Summary”
- On summary page, “Total Number of Owned Titles” gives number of unique books owned (duplicate copies are not counted in this total).
