Colleagues, Here at Asbury Seminary we are rapidly closing in on our Evergreen migration date in mid July. Our sister institution, Asbury University, will making their transition after the Fall semester. We have been testing, testing, testing and feel like we are nearly ready. There is still at least one area though, where we are seeking your collective wisdom, Statistics.
In our legacy system we have a list of statistical codes that describe the item type. e.g. monograph, annual, bound periodical, DVD, etc. My understanding is that Evergreen can pull totals for item types based on elements in the bibliographic record. Is this correct, or is it a false assumption? What statistical categories have all y'all found valuable to keep? We are particularly interested in the kind of categories other academic libraries are creating in the Statistical Category Editor. Thanks for sharing!
