Chapter 11. Annual Reports for Public Libraries Branch (BC)
Co-op Support compiles holdings, circulation, and patron statistics for BC’s Public Libraries Branch annual
reports on behalf of Sitka’s BC public libraries as outlined below.
-
Co-op Support generates reports where data from Sitka’s Evergreen is required to meet current
Public Libraries Branch report requirements. Where reports require a combination of data from Sitka’s Evergreen and
other sources, Co-op Support generates the Evergreen part only.
-
Early in the new year Co-op Support posts the report and supporting documentation to the
BC Annual Statistics page. The supporting documentation
includes notes explaining how the figures were compiled, especially where multiple reports are required.
-
Libraries review, re-compile, and correct the statistics as necessary and then submit the final reports
to Public Libraries Branch. Due to libraries' varied local practice, Co-op Support is not responsible for
confirming accuracy at local level. Co-op Support provides tips on how to check reports, and offers
technical support as needed.
-
Some reports need data from the past few years. Reports from previous years can be found on the
Past Statistics page. Co-op Support only provides
reports from Sitka’s Evergreen. Libraries that have recently migrated to Sitka are responsible for
reporting relevant data from their legacy ILS.
