Circulation predictions
Column
Circulation and holdings compared to Ivy Plus and Worldcat, by language
Data from Cornell acquisitions, 2009 - 2018. Circ counts and holdings as of 2019. Cornell only refers to the number of items acquired only by Cornell.
language = language of the material as coded in the MARC record
n = number of print monograph titles collected by Cornell in the 2001 - 2018 time period
percent_has_circulated = percentage of titles that have circulated at least once
mean_ivy = average number of copies across Ivy Plus. For a group of titles we take the total number of Ivy Plus libraries that hold titles in the set (for example, Thai language books) and divide by the number of titles. An average that is close to 1 means that few other libraries hold the same titles; a high average means many of libraries hold the same titles.
mean_oclc = average number of copies across all OCLC libraries. For a group of titles we take the total number of OCLC WorldCat libraries that hold titles in the set (for example, Thai language books) and divide by the number of titles. An average that is close to 1 means that few other libraries hold the same titles; a high average means many of libraries hold the same titles.
