Agenda

Neera distributed the new “assumptions” standards for transferring material to the Annex written by Jill Nathanson. Jill is the librarian contact for the weed project. The textbook transfer policy has been further defined.
Access Services staff will meet with Collection Services staff in late June to discuss the next weed phase. It will begin in July and Jill will set the standards.
The weed numbers are increasing. For the month of March 1757 books were processed. The goal is 1500 a month.
Neera distributed the updated weeding project cheat sheet.
Weed material designated for the Outreach program hasn’t been picked up for a long time. The material is overflowing. Melody will meet with the new coordinator, Mei Ling Lo. They will discuss standards for material the Outreach program wants to receive.

The TSCWG Functional group has been charged with presenting to Marianne Gaunt ways of making distributed technical services more efficient and effective thereby avoiding duplication of effort. Melody presented a draft of pathways by which material comes to Collection Services and the tasks that are then performed. A discussion ensued. Melody will present her draft at the next TSCWG meeting.

Ingrid brought a message from Jamie regarding the internal processing form. If material sent to processing needs to be discharged be sure and check the “discharge if needed” line found at the bottom of the form.
Neera reported she has a backlog of Annex review in the LSM weed project. Melody agreed to help with a truck.
Melody reported she is working on the serial inventory project with the Math library one afternoon a week.
