Koha has so many data points to allow collection analysis from so many different directions. What are some of the unusual ways you use these data points for collection analysis. Right now I have 6 months of Koha data. I use weeding reports. Are there other ways to use Koha data to measure collection performance in a high circulating collection
but the above appeared in the "Bulk Item Modification" thread. I think the email was written by pressing "Reply..." in an email program, even though it wasn't a reply. Most email software remembers where the reply command was used and includes metadata that explains that the new email is a reply to another message. That then helps people to sort their email and it helps the "web forum" versions of our discussion to work properly. But a few people on this list last week seemed to be starting new topics by using "Reply..." on unrelated emails, which means that the new email gets attached to a thread on a different topic, fewer readers will see the email, and any questions are less likely to be answered. For example, the above email appears on the end of http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Bulk-Item-Modification-Assinging-Branch-Co... which isn't a good place for it. This should be a cataloguing-friendly list, so come on, let's use metadata properly! Please use "Reply..." only for replies to an email and "New Mail..." for starting new topics on the list. (If you have "List Reply..." and "List Post..." commands, so much the better!) Thanks, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op.
