1. April minutes were approved
2. Current populations reports and Bound-With
- We will not be performing Bound-with links with serial titles
- We will instead put a note into the 852 field listing the boundwith items
- We will put "dummy" item lines into the record for easy reference for patrons
- A written procedure will be created in cooperation with Paul Cabelli
3. Review and critique of Holdings projects just completed
- We could have used a little more clarity in the decisions given to us
- The process of running batches of barcodes through the system to transfer or relocate the books did work well, and saved lots of time, although we may need to better sort lists in the future.
- We also need to make sure that the Access Services people report the statistics of books moved or transferred to DTS so that the statistics will accurately reflect the work done.
4. Information sharing
- Camden is currently weeding their collection
- Linda has asked our current students to return next year if possible
