AM 100 Borrowing Procedures Research

Hello!

It has been a while since our lively forum discussion about the BIG changes proposed to the AM 100 Borrowing policy. Since then, the Borrowing Procedures Committee has met a number of times to consider the proposed policy, identify all procedures – official or unofficial – and make recommendations for the parts of the policy that need procedures and the parts that are in need of training support prior to implementation. Attached is a document that describes in detail the questions the committee asked and answered as well as other information they learned through this process.

We ask that you review this document, consider each of the decisions and explanations, and let us know if any of the content needs further clarification. In a few days, we will review your comments and post a final recommendation of the procedures that will help all of us consistently guide members through the borrowing process.

The Public Services Committee of the Metropolitan Library Commission considered the revised AM 100 Borrowing policy at its meeting on March 23 and plans to recommend approval to the Commission on April 20.

Thank you.

Procedures Committee:
Risa Sargent (chair), Mariah Box, Clovis Conley, Taylor Horn, Janeal Walker, Randy Wayland
