January 17, 2010
Innovative Interfaces announced today that Encore Reporter™ is installed and in use in the following public libraries: eLGAR (Libraries for a Greater Auckland Region) (New Zealand); Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library (IN); Jefferson County Public Library (CO); Multnomah County Library (OR); Naperville Public Library (IL); San Diego County Library (CA); Toledo-Lucas County Public Library (OH); and the Tulsa City-County Library (OK). Encore Reporter provides the basis for more-informed decisions by library staff by providing dynamic and visually elegant reports on key performance indicators, operational statistics, patron and material usage analysis, and more. Encore Reporter includes a suite of new reports, such as hourly-level circulation transactions, summaries of patron registration and borrowing activity by patron ZIP code, resource-sharing statistics, and more.
Building on the powerful Encore Framework™, Encore Reporter’s seamless data analysis and presentation means complete and accurate reporting on all aspects of a library’s operation. “We continue to improve on the quality, the access to, and the depth of the information that Encore Reporter provides,” says Vice President at Innovative Aaron Blazer. “For example, Encore Reporter can now tell staff circulation statistics for each hour, even at self-check stations, within a single branch. Plus, our rapid-iteration with development-partner libraries provides a steady stream of enhancements to the product. Our academic and public library customers tell us that they need to make smart decisions about staffing and collections and Encore Reporter gives them the sophisticated information they need, simply.”
