extended brief records for items that contain some bibliographic data in order to provide library users with the most
information about the items and allow the items to remain on the shelf.
1. Statistics
Paul Cabelli lead the group in a lengthy discussion on statistics for both ARL and Non ARL statistics. Handouts of both
forms were distributed by Susan Brower. The ARL statistic form seemed to go rather quickly with little debate. The group
in general seemed to agree that section I. B could use an update to include a section for Cd-roms. There was also talk
that the form may be getting updated shortly.
The discussion of the non – ARL form allowed for more flexibility in regard to what gets kept and what doesn’t need to
be kept any more. In the section marked (Record Updates - Bibliographic – other) some people may prefer to other as
problems on their own forms.
In order to conclude the meeting after reviewing the Non ARL several members of the group agreed to meet for further
discussion of the statistics.
2. Holdings
- 930’s have been struck and are now written as an 866.
- Copy Corrections statistics have been struck and are no longer going to be kept.
- Transfers (vols.) have also been struck.
Next the group reviewed a complex record with several 866’s. This document was provided by ?.
Completion of this ended the meeting.
