a few gentle RefStats reminders




Good morning everyone,

A few gentle reminders regarding RefStats to be aware of please:

1.       Requests for stationary items (stapler, paper, pens, pencils, tape) shall not be recorded.  This also includes requests to borrow headphones. 

2.       Circulation transactions performed directly by HIN staff for clients (i.e. book signouts, placement of holds, renewing items, etc.) shall not be recorded in RefStats.  The exception to this would be questions where HIN staff are demonstrating to clients how to renew items/place holds themselves. 

3.       Requests for permission to use a KC computer shall not be recorded. 

4.       Each question should be recorded separately in RefStats (there are a few directional questions in particular where numbers are placed next to client queries about location of a particular clinic, etc., to indicate that X clients asked for directions to the same location, etc.)
