2 2 CONSEIL DE LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT Que le C.A. de la Bibliothèque publique d Ottawa approuve les recommandations suivantes portant sur les politiques et les procédures de réservation, ainsi que sur les paramètres relatifs au prêt : 1. Maintenir la politique actuelle de réservations illimitées; 2. Mettre en place une campagne promotionnelle visant à permettre aux clients d améliorer la gestion de leur compte, en fournissant les instructions suivantes : o La gestion des réservations des clients, dans le but d abaisser à 10 pour cent la proportion de réservations expirées; o Des options de gestion de compte permettant de réduire la probabilité que les clients subissent des amendes; 3. Reporter au 4 e trimestre 2014 les discussions sur la mise en place de frais pour les réservations non respectées; 4. Maintenir la période de sept jours de conservation en rayon des réservations et mettre en place un second avis de réservation; 5. Supprimer les restrictions relatives au prêt de matériel audiovisuel (DVD et CD). BACKGROUND At its August 7, 2001 meeting, the Board approved unlimited borrowing for physical materials in all formats except for audiovisual items and an unlimited number of holds on circulating materials of all formats. Holds are online requests to have library items delivered to a customer s chosen library branch. They also provide a queuing system for delivery of popular items where demand exceeds available copies. The holds service is a highly valued and well-used service for OPL customers. Circulation limits on items in audiovisual (AV) collections were established to ensure equity of access to the collection. When AV collections were first introduced, there were a limited number of items available. The AV collection size has increased to 359,555 providing a robust collection. On March 18, 2013 the Library Board directed staff to complete an analysis of OPL holds policy and parameters following discussion relating to recommended circulation parameter changes for audiovisual items. OPL retained the services of consultant J.
3 3 CONSEIL DE LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE Huber & Associates to undertake a comprehensive review of the holds service delivery chain. The service delivery chain includes the processes from a customer s initial placement of a holds request, through the back-end processes to manage and deliver the items, ending with holds being picked up by the customer from the holds shelf in their selected branch. The review report ( the study ) details the key findings from the holds service delivery chain, and recommendations resulting from the study, ensuring that the service excellence pillars of customer experience and operational performance are balanced. Holds Service Delivery Chain Key Findings A comparative analysis with other libraries reveals that OPL customers use the holds service more than in comparator libraries. As a result, OPL is more reliant on holds as a key determinant of circulation than other libraries. Library 2012 % of Circulation From Holds Ottawa 30% Hamilton 22%* Winnipeg 19%* Edmonton 15% Mississauga 13-15%* Brampton 10% Calgary 9.2%* Toronto 9.0% Montreal 5.4%* * 2011 statistics Customer Behavioral Analysis Some of the current customer characteristics related to holds include: 1) 15.7% of active borrowers had holds, and 80% of customers with holds had 10 holds or less; 2) Approximately 14% of holds expired on the hold shelf (based on 2012 and todate 2013 figures); 3) Holds expiry is spread across a wide range of customers and not limited to high volume customers; and 4) The average number of days on the hold shelf was 2.93; 58% lower than the 7 day maximum.
4 4 CONSEIL DE LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE Cost of Holds Delivery Chain The holds delivery chain is the set of processes involved in the delivery of the items requested by a customer from their initial request until the customer picks up their hold from the holds shelf. Using statistical data from the OPL s integrated library system, timing studies, and current labour rates, the following cost data analysis was extrapolated for holds in the system in Process Cost Per Item Annual Cost Fill A Hold $ 0.54 $ 1,584,282 Return An Item To Its $ 0.29 $ 509,960 Home Branch Expired Holds $ 0.75 $ 305,695 It should be noted that these costs are part of our existing operating budget envelope spread across the library s 33 branches and materials delivery services. Materials Delivery Key Findings The inter-branch delivery of materials has a significant impact on the availability of items for the public. With OPL s vast geographic size, delivery approaches have to be reviewed and optimized to promote materials availability. The study provided a benchmark on average delivery times for the customer to receive holds and information on the patterns of holds delivery throughout the system. Some key findings include: 1) The average number of days for a hold to arrive on shelf is currently 5 days. 2) An analysis of inter-branch transfers identified that 8 key branches fill 50% of holds for the system (Main, Beaverbrook, Carlingwood, Nepean Centrepointe, Ruth E Dickinson, Cumberland, Greenboro, and Hazeldean). Expired Holds: Expired holds occur when customers do not pick up their items from the hold shelf within 7 days. To maximize collection availability (service turns), customer satisfaction, and operational performance, OPL must decrease the number of expired holds. Analysis indicates that 410,160 items (or 14% of all holds) were expired in It is
5 5 CONSEIL DE LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE important to note that this rate is in the mid-range of the 10-20% norm established by the American Library Association in Although 14% is within the normal range of holds expiry metrics, this costs the library approximately $305,695 per year, and decreases service efficiency and service turns. The library needs to target a decrease in holds expiry to approximately 10% by the end of Reasons For Expired Holds An evaluation of the data details that expired holds exist across all categories of use (low, medium and high usage). In analyzing the data, it was determined there are three basic reasons for expired holds in the system: 1. Lack of time: Looking at the Imagine Data, one of the most commonly identified reasons for expired holds was general busyness. With multiple kids and activities, it is sometimes impossible to make it into the library within operating hours...as a parent working full time, with children in activities, one week is not always enough from the time you see the and get to the library. 2. OPL s Check out Policies OPL s circulation policies allow unlimited check outs on physical items with the exception of AV items where there is a limit of 10 items that can be checked out at a time. OPL allows unlimited holds for all formats. In this scenario, it is possible for customers to receive more AV items through the receipt of their holds than they are allowed to check out at one time, resulting in expired holds as anything over the 10 item limit is not able to be checked out. 3. Account Management The customer feedback from the Imagine Campaign on holds provided evidence that customers do not understand of how to manage their accounts resulting in items appearing when customers are not available or too many items appearing at one time. This is highlighted in the following comment where a customer is unaware of the existing holds suspension service: 1 Moving Materials: Physical Delivery in Libraries, by Valerie Horton and Bruce Smith, page 156
6 6 CONSEIL DE LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE I sometimes find that several books will become available all close to the same time. It would be nice to be able to suspend a HOLD for a few weeks to be able to catch up without having to start from scratch again. Recommendations 1) Retain the Existing Unlimited Holds Policy OPL policy supports unlimited holds. An analysis of the data shows that 15.7% of active customers had active holds at time of reporting (April 2013), and 80% of customers with active holds have 10 or less, and 96% have 49 or less. When looking at the 1.5% of high volume borrowers with more than 100 holds, their circulation accounts for approximately 3.0% of all circulation. Putting a cap on the number of holds per customer could unnecessarily penalize these customers and have a negative impact on circulation. In addition, the data indicated an average of 3.33 expired holds per customer across all borrowing patterns. Based upon this analysis, customer hold caps are not recommended. The distribution of customers that have active holds in the system is as follows: Number of Holds Percentage of Requestors 5 or less 66.8% % % % 100 or more 1.5% 2) Develop an Educational Campaign to improve Customer management of their holds and promote fines avoidance Comments relating to holds in the Imagine campaign clarified that many customers do not have the knowledge around account management that they require in order to effectively manage their holds and decrease expired holds. An educational campaign could be effective in changing customer behavior, thereby reducing the number of expired holds, including a special outreach to customers who have had items expire on the hold shelf in the previous year. If approved, this campaign will
7 7 CONSEIL DE LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE take place in Q with a goal of decreasing the holds expiry rate to 10% by the end of Q In addition, in order to mitigate the risk of customers obtaining additional fines due to the increases in AV circulation, the educational campaign will also include information on the mechanisms available for customers to avoid fines and properly track information on item due dates. 3) Defer until 2014 the discussion of the implementation of a Fee for Holds not Pickedup As part of Board discussion on March 13, 2013 staff were directed to evaluate the potential impacts of the implementation of a fee for holds not picked up, citing the program implemented at the Toronto Public Library (TPL) in Using the data released in a recent TPL report analyzing circulation policies and practices, staff have extrapolated these experiences using OPL data to analyze the potential impact of applying a holds fee. TPL reports the holds pick up fee to be successful and have seen their holds not picked up decrease by 62%. They have also reported increases in holds fill rate, and reported a decrease in time that materials remain sitting on the shelf. TPL has also seen significant improvement in customer management of holds since the introduction of the fee. TPL has not released details of the financial impact of this fee, but has stated that the introduction of this fee has been successful. The positive impact on hold expiry rates has been countered by a corresponding negative impact on circulation. TPL details that the introduction of this fine has had a significant impact on usage with a reduction in holds placed in TPL estimates this decrease in holds placed equates to a decrease in borrowing by 400,000 items when the six months of available data is pro-rated on a yearly basis. If OPL s experience is analyzed against TPL s experience, the introduction of holds could result in a reduction in circulation of approximately 419,000 items (assuming 2012 circulation levels remain consistent in 2013) since OPL has a greater reliance on holds as a percentage of circulation than Toronto. 2 Circulation and Collection Use (including Fees and Fines) Policy 2013 Recommendations, Toronto Public Library Staff Report, April 29,
8 8 CONSEIL DE LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE Feedback from the Imagine campaign provided a strong voice of opposition to the introduction of such a fee which may be perceived as too punitive by customers and may impact their future borrowing plans. It is recommended that such a measure only be implemented if other mitigating options do not decrease the level of holds expiry in the system and by implementing the educational campaign immediately. An evaluation of the impact of the educational campaign will occur in Q ) Retain the 7-Day Hold Shelf Period and introduce a second holds notice Statistical data indicates that items are picked up on average within 2.93 days of arriving on the shelf, and that 76% of holds are picked up within 4 days. The introduction of a second notice at day 4 would provide a reminder for customers at the mid-way point, providing sufficient notice for them to ensure pick up before hold expiry. An analysis of the circulation parameters of other large Canadian libraries has confirmed that the 7 day hold shelf period is a best practice. The hold shelf period is a system-wide parameter based upon calendar days. With the varied opening hours of OPL branches, reducing the holds shelf period could be perceived as punitive to rural residents as it would decrease the available days from them to pick up their items, given closed days and staggered opening times. Based on holds pick up time findings, reducing the holds shelf period would increase the expired holds rate and negatively impact the customer experience/satisfaction. 5) Remove the Circulation Restrictions on Audiovisual materials (DVDs and CDs): The proposed changes eliminate the current limits on audio-visual items. In 2001, the limits were established to ensure adequate access to a limited number of audiovisual materials. Since 2001, the AV collection has increased to 359,055 items. In 2012, all formats except DVD had decreased use. The decreased usage of these collections is related to the societal changes in access to this type of content from physical formats to digital downloads.
9 9 CONSEIL DE LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE The current AV limits have also been found to have a direct impact on our ability to maximize self service including the customer usage of book drop returns and self checkout stations. It is common practice for customers who are frequent borrowers of AV materials at non-rfid locations to default to immediate staff check in of returned materials. Staff check in ensures that previously checked out items are removed from the customer s accounts immediately; allowing customers to borrow additional AV items up to the 10 item limit. By removing the restrictions on the number of AV checkouts this will no longer be necessary. Analysis of data (January to May 2013) indicated that 54,340 AV items on hold expired. This represents 32.6% of all expired holds. Removal of limits on AV items ensures that the circulation practices with AV are consistent with those of all other physical items, and decreases the likelihood of customers leaving holds on the shelf. The removal of circulation limits on AV items will also improve the customer experience. The library will undertaken mitigation measures to decrease the likelihood of customers increasing their fines that could accompany this change. With the promotion of account management through the promotional campaign customers will be re-introduced to the account management features necessary to manage their accounts effectively to avoid library fines. Next Steps- Materials Delivery Analysis An analysis was completed on the time required to transfer requested items from within the library system to fill customer requests (known as in transit ). Statistical data examined the transport patterns of holds across the system and categorized each of the 33 branches based upon volume of outbound holds traffic (items) being pulled from each branch to respond to customer requests and inbound received at each branch to fulfill customer holds. With current processes it takes an average of 5 days for items to be transported through the system and made available to the customer for pick-up. The report brings forth recommendations to streamline customer holds and to prioritize holds delivery throughout the system. Next steps will be to examine the delivery process, as well as scheduling and sorting algorithms. A number of measures are being evaluated with a goal to improve delivery/transit times to high volume branches to 3 days from the current 5 days within a year from implementation. A status update will be
