Meeting Minutes 3-1-2011

1. New Stacks Management Plan - The new plan to send SuDoc titles off to Pascal was reviewed. The excel file will reside on a clipboard on top of the supply cabinet in the back office. If you and your team start to work on a title, write your name next to that title on the excel file. Use the Item Conversion Procedures (on the wiki) as well as the Item Record templates with the Item Conversion note so that all items will be picked up in lists and statistics. Deb reviewed where items ready for Pascal should be located in Norbase.

2. The revised Gov Info Circulation Procedures were reviewed and comments were added. It was noted that the 2nd level of authorizations (for individuals) was tested in Millennium and the ability override the due date did not work. We discussed printing directly from Millennium rather than checking the email account for public patron checkouts as that might be similar.

3. Peggy reported on the press release from Readex regarding JPRS reports. She noted that the research guide for JPRS on the Penn site was useful. We have non-depository microprint from 195?-197? that would contain much of this and asked Laura to check on this and update the record in the catalog since this is good primary source material. A keyword search of MoCat was demonstrated to show how to find these reports.
