There are four types of reports available in Talis DC:
These are all available from the Reports menu from your Talis DC tenancy.
CCC ACL Survey
The Talis DC Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) ACL Survey details requests necessary for reporting under the terms of the CCC's license. Requests that were ultimately unsuccessful for whatever reason are not included in the report. The details within the report are in response to the specific needs of the RRO. The report can be downloaded in CSV or Excel formats which have been approved and are acceptable by the CCC.
Accessing the report
In your Talis DC tenancy under the Reports tab, you will see the option for "CCC ACL Survey".
You then have the option to set your reporting period:
You will notice each individual resource includes a "View" button. Clicking on this button brings you back to the initial request page for the reserve or resource:
Depending on where you are in the cycle of reporting, you can then select to download only the new items for that year or the full items across your whole tenancy:
What does the report include?
The report only details those requests necessary for reporting under the terms of your license. Requests that were ultimately unsuccessful for whatever reason are not included. The report can be downloaded in CSV or Excel in a format approved and acceptable by the CCC.
Course report
The course report is a summary report that groups requests by course. You can filter by request status or even requester name or email address.
Possible uses for this report include:
- To get a picture of courses with a high number of course reserves
- To get a picture of requests needing intervention by course reserves staff (Filter by date and status=REFERRED)
- Identify courses or requesters whose requests are routinely rejected (Filter by requester and status=REJECTED)
You can also edit courses using this report, see - Edit course details
Requests report
The requests report is very similar in functionality to the courses report, but rather than summarise by course, full details of each request are shown.
Potential uses for this report include:
- Identifying which requests are not linked to a reading list item (export the report and filter is your spreadsheet software where the item link column is blank).
- Pulling a report for all requests from an individual requester.
- Column U - Date copied - will show you when a scan was originally uploaded, which can be useful if you are identifying older items which may not have had OCR applied
- Column V - Date released - will show you when a scan was made available to students
Usage reports
There are three usage reports available from Talis DC:
- Views - the number of times the bundle has been viewed online.
- Prints - the number of times the bundle have been printed from the online view.
- Downloads - the number of times the bundle has been downloaded.
Each report allows you to view usage statistics for the following periods of time:
- Last year (365 days)
- Last 90 days
- Last 30 days
- Last 7 days
TIP: The number of days you want to report on isn't one of these options? Change the number at the end of the web address to be the number of days you want to report on - eg. http://{universitiy Talis DC address}/usage/views/700 -- reports on views in the last 700 days.
These reports can be downloaded in CSV format so that they can be manipulated and reported as you need. All time statistics for individual course reserve requests are available in the analytics area on the request itself.
