- Review file maintenance
And saved searches... limited to 100. Send out call to get rid of unnecessary saved searches. Investigate increasing number of saved searches. Set a time limit for the existence of a created list? One week? Systems people will send out call to delete lists with a deadline of 30 days, after which time lists will be deleted.
- Collection development reports (http://www.consuls.org/manage)
Veronica will open a call with III to find out what this is doing.
- OPAC changes (procedures, etc.)
Edward made changes requested by CSL. Process and responsibility for changes discussed. Lists of proposed changes will be compiled, directors will review master list. Steven and Debbie will make sure directors are kept informed. Possibility of distributing responsibility of making actual changes to screens, etc.
- Discuss training needs with Roy Temple, Interim Director CCSU
Advanced system administration training? More distributed responsibilities require more training? 2-day training schedule. Should one person from each institution attend training - for redundancy and backup. Could we host a session here and invite other III libraries. Is this a good time to talk about considering other options? Much appreciation to Edward and Debbie for taking the brunt of the responsibility for the system thus far. Much appreciation to Roy Temple for joining us.
