Library Circulation - up, down and all around.
Libraries are required by law to report yearly to the State of Wisconsin circulation numbers, number of visitors, PC sessions and more. As library formats change and evolve, keeping track of "circulations" gets a bit fuzzy. Circulation numbers for physical items is easy to track and report. E-formats are a different matter. E-content use is not reported as a circulation, even though the library paid for the material being loaned, and assisted the patrons in accessing it.
