After an upgrade to Google Analytics 4, the MSC Online Catalog dashboard is regularly updating again. Check out the Online Catalog dashboard here. Whether it is for your board report, quarterly statistics, collection development, or just plain curiosity, the Online Catalog dashboard will give you what you need. 

By using the tabs across the top of the page you can get statistics for ‘Users’, ‘Page Views’, and ‘Search’. The default view shows statistics for all MSC member libraries, but you can use the ‘Library’ dropdown to limit to just your library.  

Note this is a new URL so be sure to update any of your saved bookmarks! 

After reviewing feedback from the poll that went out a few weeks ago, MSC staff will be offering a separate Assumed Lost report for hotspots. For more information, please check out the Knowledge Base article: Circulation – Assumed Lost Guidelines: Hotspots. 

 If you would like to opt-in to this process, please open a help desk ticket.  

MSC staff will soon be updating how two home locations display in Enterprise to make them more uniform with existing policy standards. ‘JUVENILE’ will be changed from displaying as ‘Children’s Books’ to displaying as ‘Juvenile’ and ‘Childrens’ will be changed from displaying as ‘Children’s desk’ to display as ‘Children’s’.  

If you have any questions or if you would like to start using one of these, please open a help desk ticket. 

We have made the following two updates to the information a user sees when they click on a title from a search result list to view more information about that item:  

• For some libraries publication information would display if it was entered in a MARC 260 tag but would not display if it was entered in a 264 tag. We have made an update so that libraries who have publication information included in their detail display will now consistently see it.  
• Completing our update for sound recording content types, we have added that information to the detail display.
