Minutes for Meeting 10/15/08
We began with the decision to postpone the Wiki training to next week. We discussed the Friday-Saturday power outage. We will be closed Saturday. The newest Area Hand book series title on Iran has a new call number and will be placed in Ref. We might change this decision if we get many other titles. Also, be aware that some Legislative calendars may still be in our stacks. Give them to Sheila when found.

Weekend coverage for the rest of Oct. : Deb. will work the 23rd and Linda will work the 30th.

Windy from CMS will meet with Linda and Pat about records in the Data exchange file

Questions from GP for the All Catalogers Meeting: 1. What is the significance of cat level in a record? 2. How will authority control be handled for Colorado State agencies? 3. What should we do with series without a serial record or SAF, down to CMS for NACO treatment? 4. Clarify 201 or 42 for web items.

Vacation schedules: Pat Nov.20th-Dec. 2nd ; Sheila Dec .10th-17th; Linda no vacation ; Leanne Dec 19th -Jan.6th; Deb Dec. 24th –Jan.4th (but she will be in town); Martha Jo Nov.6th to 7th and Dec. 29th to Jan. 2nd ; Salem no vacation and Peggy the week of the 22nd and 29th.

Jennie will be out all next week; Peggy until Wed.

Peggy reminded us to use Reference Universe (under Ref general) for obscure people and History Ref online. In any case, we need to emphasize the use of “Find articles and more”.

Be aware that a request for EBD fiche might need a more in-depth reference interview to see if the person really wants older material, material on fiche etc.

We had an instance where we would normally delete the print item but there were important notes in the item. In that case, suppress the item and make status ‘w’.
