Holiday Closure GuideMallory DeBartolo (Unlicensed)
  • Discussed actions each institution should take to prepare for winter break.
  • Decided that requests should just not expire over break (instead of turning off borrowing and lending)
  • Some small parts need additional testing before a document can be created (see action items for details)
  • e-mail to be drafted to indicate above points. Aim to be done with guide by end of next week (12/8) and posted to the website.
Tricor issuesJesica Brubaker (Unlicensed)
  • Effort to collect information about issues with Tricor deliveries. 
  • Haven’t gotten much feedback from people about Tricor issues. Doesn’t seem like there’s much interest in continuing to collect issues or approaching Tricor reps about these problems.
  • Will circle back to address this in the new year.
Policy changes based on feedbackChris Lee (Unlicensed)

 Want to add more substance to our policy recommendations

  • Why do we need the policy?
  • What happens without the policy?
  • What’s the reason for your specific recommendation (ie why boxes and not just bubble wrap? Why 60 days and not 90 days?)

Each group member will pick two to add content to and incorporate feedback for discussion at 12/8 meeting:

  • Chris: Replacement fees, Overdue fines
  • Stacy: Reimbursement for lost books, Loan sequence
  • Jesica: Media Lending, Consortia Bags
  • Arturo: Holds and recalls, Fulfillment response/turnaround time
  • Joe: Loan Periods, Visiting Patron
