Total = ebooks + video + music + OverDrive READ + audiobooks.
Note: 2013 WPLSD total is an estimate based on recent small declines in total circulation in Wisconsin public libraries, as reported in the Wisconsin Public Library Service Data.
What is and isn't included in the Wisconsin Public Library Service Data numbers. (From the 2013 instructions for the Wisconsin public library annual report.)
Circulation: A circulation transaction is the act of loaning materials at a library or bookmobile in all formats for use outside the library. This activity includes checking out materials to users, either manually or through a self-checkout system, and also renewing, each of which is reported as a circulation transaction. Include items circulated from all library units (e.g., main library, branches, bookmobiles, and book-by-mail programs) administered by the library board. Do not include Overdrive or NetLibrary use (uses of these non-physical materials are reported in 7, below). Interlibrary loan items provided to the library and checked out by the library should be reported here as a circulation. Do not include interlibrary loan items sent, or checked out to, another library.
