I've created such a space at https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=search:activity_metric_configs. I started with the badges that are currently being used at CW MARS. I know of a few other sites that are using them. I hope you all add your details there too! Kathy On 04/10/2018 11:57

I don't think this is in heavy use yet but I'm a big proponent of us creating a space on the community wiki for people to share their formulas and how they work. Rogan Hamby, MLIS Data and Project Analyst Equinox Open Library Initiative phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) email:

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Activity metric?

We're currently testing the activity metric feature (AKA Statistical Popularity Badges) and are planning to implement this on our public catalog soon. If you currently have this turned on or are testing it, we'd love to know which badge configurations you're using, and how they're working. If

All, I don't have much time to go into detail right now (meetings solid this afternoon), but in order to get the basics out there so Thomas and others can start looking at it I'm going paste some SQL below, and then give some basic narrative on how it could be generalized for use in a

The current plan would not take into account how recent the circs (or holds) were, just that they were within a configurable time period of the time the cronjob that counts them last ran (default will likely be to include those from within the last 6 to 12 months). If you have an algorithm

Something that took into consideration how current the circs/holds were could be valuable I think in reflecting a more ... natural effect that titles have in relevancy. For example, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. In the first 24 hours that the bib was in our system the total holds might be

Hi all, MassLNC is working with our partners at MVLC to develop an activity metric (aka popularity metric) that will allow sites to rank more popular items a little higher in search results than items that don't see as much activity. I've raised this idea on the list before. Although

Hi Rogan, Yes, that's right. According to Thomas Berezansky, if you have other relevancy bumps active from search.relevance_adjustment, they will be combined, so it won't just be the activity metrics. Kathy Kathy Lussier Project Coordinator Massachusetts Library Network Cooperative (508)
