The new Rapid statistics are here!

During the past 18 months the Rapid team has been working on our new Statistics package. Mike Morrison has overseen this development and has done a great job!

What's new?
• Statistics are now real-time! No more waiting until the end of the month to view your reports.
• The Statistics main menu page is displayed more simply.
• Reports are configurable.
       You decide if you want a fiscal year or calendar year view.
       You decide what fields to display in your reports.
       You decide how deep into the report you want to drill down.
• Reports are easily export-able in a variety of file formats.

What's the same?
All the information you are used to having in your monthly reports is available.

RapidX is Xtraordinary!

The Rapid staff is pleased to announce our newest, very innovative feature: RapidX.

Using RapidX lending libraries can send articles in .tif, .tiff or .pdf file formats to any Rapid site regardless of whether the borrowing library prefers to receive articles via Ariel or Odyssey or directly to their Rapid website! The .tif, .tiff or .pdf files can be created using any high-quality scanning software.

In addition to determining which delivery method the borrowing library prefers and sending the article to that system, RapidX will automatically insert the Rapid cover sheet as the transmission’s first page and will automatically update the request to “filled” in the Rapid system.

RapidX eliminates the cross-compatibility issues between Ariel and Odyssey and enables libraries without Ariel or Odyssey to easily send and receive Rapid articles.

Contact the Rapid staff at: Rapidstaff@RapidILL.org for more information about this or any other Rapid feature.
