What is the term for the record of the number of items charged out of the library?

• A. Acquisition Log
• B. Circulation Statistics
• C. Borrower File
• D. Central Registration

Answer: (B)

In library work, records that track how many items are checked out are part of circulation data. Circulation statistics specifically capture the counts and trends of items loaned over a period (daily, monthly, etc.). This makes it the precise term for the record of the number of items charged out. The other options relate to different records: Acquisition Log logs new materials added to the collection, the Borrower File holds patron information, and Central Registration is about registering patrons. For example, a monthly circulation statistics report shows how many items were checked out in that period, helping staff understand lending activity and plan accordingly.
