I. Resource Records.
Clarification on terminology: resource records are ERM records that appear in the Find Articles & More database.

II. Serial Set from CSU

• We received CSU's Serial Set volumes through vol. 5216. CSU accidentally sent a few copy 2s. We're sending a total of 700 Serial Set volumes to Pascal.
  
• Now we have to modify our records; Leanne is leading this process.
  
• Item records should be changed so that they read "Library Use Only. "
  
• Check-in records won't be changed until this process is complete.
  
• If we have a Serial Set copy 2 with info. about Western or Colorado history, we should keep it in McGov.
• We're going to keep our copy of American State Papers in McGov.
