Hello. Has any one been able to use the Lending feature to track how often a book has been checked out within a certain time frame for the purposes of weeding? Is there another way within Library Thing to track usage?

I don't do church libraries, but you might peruse other postings on Church Libraries to find ideas. Also https://www.librarything.com/groups/tinycat might be useful to look at. Tinycat is for small libraries, and is organized by Librarything.

IF you haven't found an answer yet, you can export the check in/out transactions to Excel and do some nice analysis with that. A Pivot Table in Excel works great for summarizing the occurrences (count) of records (like Titles)

Hi, I know I asked this a few months ago, but I have forgotten how to run borrowings statistics. Can you point me in the right direction where on the Library Thing website where I can run these reports? Thanks.

It looks like you're using TinyCat, in which case you can use the "Export Transactions" button on any of your Transactions pages (https://www.librarycat.org/admin/transactions), or you can see what automated checkout and patron reports we have on your Reports page: https://www.librarycat.org/admin/reports. I hope this helps.
