Some LMS stats

Speaking of the TUG - as we were on the earlier post, PLS provided some performance / volume statistics to the Group of Tuesday.  While there is some debate about exactly what we "count" in terms of total items, these numbers give us some understanding of current collection size, borrower numbers and some relevant information about holds.
At some stage in the future we will add some circulation stats and other information, but I figure that even these numbers will be of some interest to some of you.

LMS Performance statistics
19 Aug
Total Holds 
130,139
Total items 
3,044,759
Total Customers 
744,210
Total titles 
1,062,945
Customers with holds 
32,850
Customers with >15 holds 
1,641
Customers with 30 holds 
184
Total holds to customers with >15 holds
38,336


Quick analysis of these numbers indicates that at the point at which this "snapshot" was taken approximately 4.3% of customers have "holds".  And of the customers who have holds, approximately 5% have more than 15 holds.  It would appear that less that 0.6% of customers with holds have their full quota of 30 holds.
