How do we run a report that shows which books haven’t been checked out in the last year?

Question:
How do we run a report that shows which books haven’t been checked out in the last year?
We are want to see what books haven’t been checked out so we can pull them from our library. Our library isn’t that big so if we can remove the books that haven’t been read then we aren’t wasting that space on books people aren’t reading.

Answer:
To generate a list of items that were not checked out in 2025, please copy and paste the SQL query below into the Custom Definition Box, and then click "Display." Please note that this process may take some time to complete. To check for different years, simply adjust the year in the query accordingly.


  • Copy the text from the above box.
  • Paste the text into the Custom Definition Box (1).
  • Click Display (2) to execute the query and show the result (3).
  • Click Save View to save the view.
