1. Updated receiving checklist
- Numbering/series changes procedure is what is updated on checklist.
- Question was raised as to who deals with title changes. Bib-cat takes care of it.
2. Extended info – updates and progress
- DANA reported no problems/issues.
- ALEX titles more problematic because of sheer bulk of titles needing ext-info updates. General agreement that you must prioritize: focus on messy ext-info, don’t spend time on minor fixes when busy. Some made printouts to put problem aside for less busy day.
3. Budget
- Budget will be cut approximately 10%.
- To cope, print dups. and electronic dups. are being eliminated. People will be asked to take on more duties, multi-task due to this.
4. Request for proposal
- RFP process ongoing. In response to budget cuts, investigating alternative vendors for titles in search of better prices.
5. Replacements procedure
- No longer pursuing paper replacements for texts we have electronic access to.
