Department Meeting 11/11/09

We began the meeting with a Backstage report from Deb (problems with 4XX fields etc.) and Peggy’s report from the newly named Desk Management Group. She mentioned the move of the print card machine, the new scanner location,the suggestion to replace some tables in the Commons, possible security sweeps to check for outside users, the Public Use Policy, the acquisition of FBIS and the changes in Lexis-Nexis). Each will send out detailed minutes of the meetings.

We decided on 2:30 Dec. 9th for Irma’s party
Jennie asked us to check the Office phone each day for voice mail. Also, we should leave the regular items out for the public (pencils, staplers, hole punches etc.) not the entire tray we had when the window was open.
The binding returns that were Irma’s responsibility need to be reassigned. We will make a new shelf for binding returns.
Linda reported that we are not getting records for new microfiche. They can’t be converted on the print or electronic records, so Peggy will contact Laurie Hall at GPO to ask her what is happening.
Deb and Jennie showed us a flow chart that they are developing for revising the IN-House Use procedure. We discussed it and made suggestions. Deb will bring the revised chart to the next meeting.
