Voyager Reporting Options
  • Reporter
  • Access Reports
  • Analyzer

USG Libraries began their 3-year migration to
Voyager in 1998. Early in the migration process
Library staff requests for data started to
disprove a basic assumption the staff would
easily move to using MS Access to query the
Voyager database.

Typical Reactions
  • The Access Reports are okay, but .
  • We dont have time to learn SQL.
  • MS Access is too complex.
  • I just want a button to click.

GIL Reports Committee Recommendations (year 2000)
  • GIL Web Reports
  • Fast
  • Ease of Use
  • GIL Workstation Reports
  • Filters
  • Sort Options
  • Output Alternatives
  • Security

GIL Web Reports
  • Following the GIL Reports Committees reporting
    recommendations, work was begun first on the GIL
    Web Reports which use PHP and Apache. Some
    reports were duplicates of Voyager MS Access
    reports, while others were designed with selected
    parameter input to fill the reporting void and
    meet staff demands for information.

Voyager Reporting System - VRS
  • As the first GIL Web Reports were being made
    available, work on the workstation reporting
    client was started. The GIL Web Reports have
    bridged many reporting voids, especially for
    consortium reports. They provide data that
    Library staff need on a day-to-day basis through
    a web interface. While MS Access reports
    provide more selection criteria and detail, the
    Library staffs did not want to learn SQL and MS
    Accessthey wanted a point-N-click reporting
    interface.
