Using Access to Record Reference Statistics?

[Kristi Bryant]

Abigail,

If possible I would like to see a copy of your reference log.  I've recreated ours a few times, but still am not happy with it.

Thanks,

Joel,

We use a Google Form to capture transactions and that's been very robust and easily updated as needed.  If you'd like to see a copy, let me know.

Hi,

My library still records reference statistics the old-fashioned way-with pen and paper. Obviously, it's time for us to move to an electronic system, which will simplify creating statistical reports.

We're looking at a couple of options. We've contacted several vendors for trials of subscription services. We're also wondering if we could simply create an Access database with a form on the frontend that we could all share via a network drive. Are there any libraries out there using Access to record reference transactions? If so, what has been your experience?

Thanks,
