Check and update toolbars/properties: file://T|COMMON/Standard_Properties/properties.html
Remember, 5/31/03 is the standard control record expiration date. The group reported no problems from the
upgrade. Zohreh reported a positive; that when an item in transit for reserve is discharged, the comments
field appears automatically, indicating the course/instructor info.
We looked over the stated goals from the previous annual report and added a few new ones fro the second half of this fiscal year.

Added Goals:
Counts/Reserve usage reports: Dean's counts of circulation/preview lists. I have been recieving the statistics forms from each unit. I will compile into a graph form, especially when we have multiple semesters accumulated.

I ran the reserve brief record removal using date created prior to 11/15/2002.
6,487 items were selected for removal and were in these library locations:
2095------ALEXANDER

1472------CAMDEN
148--------CHANG

642--------KILMER
526--------LSM

48----------MEDIA
296--------MUSIC
2------------PHYSICS
12----------SERC
139--------SMLR
Of these, 6,367 were removed and 120 were not. The 120 items could not be removed due to the following reasons:
| 109 | Item has bills -- cannot be removed |
| 9 | Item charged -- cannot be removed |
| 2 | Title under serial control --cannot remove or transfer |
The items that could not be removed were in these library locations:
21-----ALEXANDER

Tracey will place these reports on the T: drive in the same location as the removal reports.
We reviewed the proposed reference records for courses with multiple professors. Thank you to Zohreh and Dean for your input on this project. There are three basic scenarios to consider:
The scenarios described each have a specific solution. I will work the document into draft procedures, review with Dean and Zohreh, and then review with the group.
May raised an interesting question about receiving files in an electronic format, either on disc or in email. If these files are not in .pdf format, they need to be converted. If you have any questions on how to do so, please ask either myself or the copy center. The files can then be renamed to our standard convention, copyright stamp(s) added, saved to the U:/ drive, and used with our files. Please make sure that they conform to our size limitations of approximately 1.5 mgb. If not, then they need to be parceled.
We discussed the possibility or exploring new options for conversion of files. More to follow on using Adobe distiller for this process.
