Usage Statistics

Through OverDrive Marketplace Insights, members can view a variety of usage statistics of the WSDLC collections: from checkouts to the number of holds; from time spent reading to the number of students checking out titles. Marketplace Insights makes it easy to get details library staff need.

Things to Note About Insights

► Most checkout data is available through OverDrive Marketplace reports within 30 minutes. However, the checkout isn’t counted in the Checkouts report until a title has been returned. This means that if you are running a report to see how many checkouts there were last month, you may want to wait until a few weeks in to the current month before running the report; you wouldn’t want to miss any checkouts that started on the 28th of last month, but weren’t returned until the full checkout period 3 weeks later!

► In each report, there is a link to a help article at the top. This link will give you the low-down about that specific report:  terminology used, caveats, etc.
