Department Meeting 9/25/07
1. Jennie discussed the CCR online version which is the official version as of 7-1-07. It covers Mid-2006 on and is auto-published on the 10th of the month regardless of the day of the week. We only have kept the latest version in print. Do we need to keep? Decided to check to see what the Law Library does first.
2. THOMAS - Congressional Hearings deal between the Law Library of Congress and Google for digitization has been made. These are not yet on Thomas, but there are samples that don't look/act like usual Google digital images.
3. NASA microfiche - Linda sked that markers be dated so everyone knows how long it has been since the fiche was removed from the cabinet. Jennie reported that a couple of years appear to be missing. (Denise has been cataloging.) Discussion of circulating microfiche led to serveral suggestions. Are markers needed? Make reserve and check out to track # of sheets? Use multipart forms? Have student go through a pull all markers after fiche has been filed? ILL students as well as gov pubs students put fiche in our box. If see "pink in-use" pull out and discard - they are acidic and should not be used. Decision: Use mulitpart form, attach form with ID #, call number and date used. Keep in box with A-Z tabs where we keep IDs. File all returned fiche, remove other cards. Discard forms when fiche is returned. Count for in-house use. Shred forms that have ID#. Purchase a shredder. Leave pencils and cards spread out on top of cabinets. Use box by door in McGov with In-Use Cards.
4. The Department will meet with Peggy Jobe, new Head of Gov Pubs on Monday at 11:00 am.
