Currently, we use JasperReports to obtain information from the UCLA Library Catalog (Voyager) to assist in data-informed decisions and assessment. UCLA Library imports its JasperReports (occasionally referred to as "Jasper Reports") into JasperReports Server. Reports from assorted databases maintained by Digital Initiatives and Information Technology (DIIT) may be made in response to requests by library staff for information or data. These reports assist in effective decision-making and assessment. Projects are in place to add reporting services from other UCLA Library data sources. Report output formats include Excel, PDF, Word, and others. In addition, reports can include graphic elements such as charts. Reports can be scheduled to run automatically and emailed to user(s), or manually run in the web. Access is controlled by UCLA Login, and all library staff (including student employees) have access via our JasperReports Server. Digital Initiatives and Information Technology (DIIT) supports the application and creation of reports. |
