3. Kellie and Teresa are still working on adding an advanced search feature to the internet.
4. The damage letter form is now available on the intranet.
5. Pauline has created a report on creating records for paperback books (full report attached). Since creating brief catalog records is not recommended, Pauline, Karen, and Jimmy will continue to explore other options for accessing purchased browse materials. This will combine efforts from TP, MSL, and public service staff. Katrina suggested a way to type in a title when you put the barcode on the book just for inventory purposes.
1. The hearing impaired resource page has been added to the intranet for staff access. Kay sent the marketing request for bookmarks and will check on the status.

5. The Managers Meeting decided that the shelf management lists for audio fiction will be in order by author.
6. Denyvetta asked the managers about a pop-up in V-circ with pre-set alerts. There were diverse opinions and a universal approach could not be made. There will be no further action at this time.
Rotating positions have been filled
Josh Lewis from Choctaw is the new circulation representative
Jack Kinzie is the new librarian representative
Pauline Rodriguez-Atkins is the new cataloging representative
Katrina is the Manager of Library Operations representative
Janet and Karen investigated the need for a foreign language paperback code and with the numbers presented, tech support feels that this is not something that should be created at this time. This could be fixed by cataloging paperbacks, which would need to be revisited once Cataloging has moved to the new service center.
