Library Record Counts FY 2023

The Bib column represents the number of bibliographic records in your library’s database. The Bibs w/o MFHDs column is a subset of that count and represents bibliographic records without associated MFHDs or holdings. The MFHD column represents the number of MFHD (MARC Format for Holdings Data) records in your library’s database. The MFHDs w/o items column is a subset of that count and represents MFHDs without associated item records. These could feasibly represent electronic resource holdings (e.g., ebooks, ejournals) or serial holdings that do not have barcoded items attached. The Item column represents the number of Item records in your library’s database.

This data was updated on 08/31/2026. For FY23, CARLI ran this report on 07/01/2023 and delivered it to each I-Share institution (via Box and/or FTP) and a report was also posted on this webpage. Upon review, CARLI noticed this webpage's FY23 data was retrieved on 07/10/2023 and did not match the 07/01/2023 data that was delivered to each individual institution.
