Summit Borrowing Committee Agenda: July 28, 2006 |
8:30-11:30 AM
1. Introductions (10 min.)
2. AAR schedule (20 min.)
move it to begin a few weeks later?
3. Time on hold shelf (20 min.)
a. Received Too Long report. Recommendation: Adjust setting for Received Too Long report to 8 days so items won't appear on report until after 7 full days (Nathanson)
b. Short loan materials. Is 2 days the right amount of time? Pro: lengthen the time so patrons don't miss getting what they requested, make it same as regular loan. Con: Further lengthens time away from Owning Site, might discourage some members from loaning more materials
4. Improving turnaround time (40 min.)
Review use of courtesy notices (reduce instances of materials kept beyond due date)
Review use of overdue fines (reduce materials kept beyond due date)
Review paging slips and bookbands (reduce labeling and packaging errors)
break 15 min.
5. Who's allowed to use Summit Borrowing (15 min.)
Review application of patron eligibility policy "currently enrolled students". What flexibility is there in defining "currently enrolled"? Enrolled and fees paid for that term? What about students previously enrolled, expecting to be enrolled again in next or future term? Other definition?
6. Supervising Summit Borrowing (30 min.)
ideas to consider:
keeping everyone in the loop, copying or forwarding email announcements or instructions and/or group email accounts, links to web pages, etc.;
help Alliance have the latest info on the Sharing Materials web pages, and use the pages to help with training
occasional checking-in, oversight, and spot-checks - for example "are the reports being run?"
7. Communication, representation, participation, and inclusion (15 min.)
Thoughts on the Steering Team "buddy" system, using a blog, representing all the departments or branches for the institution, etc
8. Other topic(s) from SBDay (15 min.)
