How to Use the Consortium Loan Services (CLS) Network Zone (NZ) Active Loan Report
The Consortium Loan Services (CLS) Network Zone (NZ) Active Loan report is generated from NZ Analytics and identifies Active CLS Loans associated with patrons at WRLC partner libraries.
Historically, these reports were requested before graduation or at the end of an academic semester so libraries could identify graduating students with outstanding CLS loans and encourage the return of materials before patrons left campus.
Similar to traditional Interlibrary Loan material, the requesting library is responsible for the replacement cost of Lost CLS material.
Understanding the Report
CLS NZ Active Loan reports are dynamic. The results reflect the status of CLS loans at the time the report is generated.
The report changes as:
- New CLS loans are created
- Existing CLS loans are returned
- Existing loans age into Lost status and are no longer represented as Active loans
Because of these changes, a monthly report provides a useful point-in-time review but does not identify CLS loans created or loans that age into Lost status after the report is generated.
Recommended Use
Partner libraries may generate the report at intervals appropriate to local needs. Common uses include:
- Reviewing outstanding CLS loans before graduation
- Identifying CLS materials still charged to patrons approaching the end of a semester
- Reviewing loans for patrons preparing to leave the institution
- Supporting outreach intended to encourage the return of CLS materials before patrons leave campus
While the report may be generated monthly, libraries may also generate it weekly or daily when more frequent monitoring is useful. More frequent reporting allows libraries to identify outstanding CLS loans for graduating students and other departing patrons throughout the year rather than limiting review to traditional graduation or semester-end periods.
Reporting Frequency
The appropriate reporting frequency depends on the purpose of the review.
| Frequency | Suggested Use |
|---|---|
| Monthly | General monitoring and periodic review of active CLS loans |
| Weekly | Increased monitoring near graduation, semester-end, or other periods of patron departure |
| Daily | Short-term monitoring when timely identification of outstanding CLS loans is necessary |
