Millennium Statistics is a very powerful tool that enables libraries to create statistical reports with ease.

This session will give an introduction to Milstats and how libraries can utilize this powerful tool. This session will serve as a introduction to the program and showcase many basic features (with examples) to help people get started.
Program Title: Milstats: 102: Beyond the Basics with Milstats
Millennium Statistics is a very powerful tool that enables libraries to create statistical reports with ease. But it can do more than just count up records. In this presentation, we will look at Milstats beyond the basics and focus on some of the advanced functions that libraries can undertake, including: scheduling reports, working with periodic reports, running collection development queries, projecting budget increases, and fun with SCAT tables. This session will serve as a complement to "Milstats 101" and showcase some more powerful tools available to users.

IUG Sessions on Funds - Funds (Huh!): What are they good for!
Program Title: Funds (Huh!): What are they good for!
Program Coordinator: Corey Seeman
Coordinator Institution: Kresge Business Administration Library (Univ. of Michigan)
Presented at IUG 2008 in Washington, D.C. (April 2008)

Session Description (100 word limit for program publication): Funds are the building blocks of Acquisitions - allowing us to pay for orders and report expenditures. But for many sites, the fund structure lacks the ability to truly capture the information that the library wants and needs. We will explore the role that funds play in Millennium and look at: changing funds, statistical and financial reporting; and matching the funds with the fiscal close method used at your institution. The learning objective is to be able to evaluate your fund structure and use to determine if your existing structure still meets your needs.
