[Michlib-l] Overdrive items owned for state aid report

[Helen Dewey]

Thank you for sharing this method.

I tried it, and I see at the top of the Purchased Titles report a note:

" This report does not display the total number of units or licenses 
currently in your collection. See the Title status & usage report for 
information about your current holdings. "


That report, run with the same dates (starting 1/1/2009 and ending 
6/30/2016),  produces a different total!  Is that because of licenses??


This is confusing.
