    Circulation Forum Minutes November 2013

    Submitted by mkellogg on Mon, 12/09/2013 - 11:35

    Kay Bauman (LO) stated that the first update on the purchase of a new Integrated Library System was posted on the intranet in June 2012 and that it has been and will continue to be a long and complicated process through the final implementation. As of this meeting, the recommended ILS has not been chosen but is expected to be finalized in the next few days. References from libraries using the different systems are currently being checked and each vendor is undergoing a vetting process. The ILS Task Force recommendation will be taken to the Finance Committee on Monday, November 11 and then to the Commission on November 21. The next step will be negotiations with the chosen vendor.

    Manager of Library Operations Meeting Minutes for May 2010

    Loan Period for DVD Instructional Materials – Karen Marriott & Janet Brooks-MSL, Pauline Rodriguez-Atkins, Paula Hannapel & Jill Vessels, CAT

    Karen received a customer’s request to extend loan periods on DVDs. She indicted that the customer is using a series of college courses on DVD called “Great Courses” of about 159 items on 360 minute DVDs which the customer feels the loan period is not enough time to complete the series.

    Pauline mentioned that having a different loan period for DVDs complicates the process of printing barcode labels for CAT Technicians. The barcode printing software does not always automatically generate the correct loan period, so the technicians constantly have to be on watch to update information. Jill and Paula agreed and indicated that having a consistent loan period for all materials would reduce errors and speed the process of printing barcode labels.

    Manager of Library Operations Meeting Minutes for May 2006

    Submitted by tgoggins on Wed, 05/24/2006 - 00:00

    The priority for the ‘07 budget will be on capitol project such as the new service center and RE’s renovation/expansion.

    There were no staffing additions approved in Account 101 budget this year. A staffing formula used by several libraries around the country will be used next year.

    Account 102 has the same bottom line amount next fiscal year with the exception of BE that experienced a small increase. As we did last year, we used a formula of how long it takes to process system reserves to determine the amount of system reserve page hours each library needs. I moved the hours from the general page hours to the system reserve hours while maintaining the total 102 account amount.

    She expressed appreciation to managers for their efforts in reviewing Account 330 and making request that matched expenditures.

    A $10,000 cap for agency programming (Acct. 330) will be implemented this year. The focus will be on more system-wide programming.
