That sounds like a great way to look at the Symphony transaction logs, and I'm 
going to try it.  Thanks!  Having all these logs will a great way to learn these 
applications.

Thanks for all the other replies about the logs.  People are analyzing them in 
different ways with different tools, and everyone finds something right for 
them.  That's always good to see.  I'll write up what I do in case it's useful.

A general question for anyone looking at usage of circulating physical items: 
what have you found to be the most useful questions you ask of the data, or the 
most worthwhile reports and visualizations you make?  I'm going to start with 
some obvious ones (what circs the most, what kind of user is most active, which 
locations are busiest, what call number ranges get used the most) but I wonder 
what others have found to be the most interesting and helpful.
