About the "Checkouts" report

The Checkouts report lets you view information about your checkouts for any time period you specify, organized by the report criteria you select.

You can choose to view your checkouts by branch (if applicable), day, month, year, publisher, format, title, subject, or creator. You can also narrow your report to only show checkouts from a specific lending model (e.g., One Copy/One User), checkout source (e.g., borrowed through OverDrive APIs, an eReading Room, or Libby), and more.

Example uses of this report

  • To see checkouts from Libby, click Run new report, select Libby in the "Borrowed from" field, and select All formats in the "Format" field.
  • To see checkouts for all lending models in your digital collection, click Run new report, then select All lending models in the "Lending model" field. If you add up checkouts by individual lending models instead, you may get inaccurate results because of the way titles purchased under multiple lending models are counted in this report.
  • To include checkouts for formats that are no longer active in your digital collection, click Run new report, then select All formats in the "Format" field.
  • To only see checkout activity for a specific publisher, click Run new report, then select Publisher in the "Checkouts by" field. Click Update, then sort the publisher column alphabetically to find a specific publisher.

Important notes

  • To run this report from the inception date of your digital collection: Open the report. In the "Report options" window, make sure the "Period type," "Date," or "Date range" is Specific, leave the start date and end date fields blank, and click Update. For large reports, select Create worksheet to export a CSV file of your results.
  • If you have Marketplace settings permission, you can also opt to show user IDs (library card numbers or usernames) in this report by adjusting your Marketplace settings (under the Admin tab).
  • In the "Format" column of the report, "Pending" means that the user borrowed the title but didn't select a format for it (e.g., Kindle Book, OverDrive Read, Adobe EPUB). Learn more about "Pending" formats.
