¨Old and New Business:  Update from the Systems Office

DISCUSSION:  Ruth introduced Colleen Turnage, recently named Coordinator of Learning Services. Colleen comes to us from Queens University, Charlotte, NC.

Ruth has sent e-mails with schedules for the OCLC Group Catalog webcasts. Also, the WebCat iLink portal is ready to be installed. John noted that, during installation, WebCat will be unavailable for approximately half a day, with some minor adjustments to be made after initial installation. (An example of the iLink portal may be viewed at the Queens University, Everett Library web site at

http://qcel.sirsi.net:5327/uhtbin/cgisirsi/9WJqQOTvzj/56270007/60/502/X )

Ruth also said that more WorkFlows training sessions are being planned.

 

CONCLUSION:  Committee recommended expeditious installation of the iLink portal.

 

ACTION:  Committee proposed Thursday, December 16th as the tentative date for implementation of the portal, pending approval from CCLINC members and from SIRSI.

 

 

 

 

¨New Business:  Review of Cooperative Agreement

DISCUSSION:   Ernest reminded members that the CCLINC Cooperative Agreement will be sent to member colleges for review in January. The Committee will review proposals for change at the February meeting.

¨New Business:  Proposed revision of CCLINC ILL Policies

DISCUSSION:  Stephanie presented the proposed revisions of the CCLINC ILL Policies. Members discussed a suitable method for removing and returning unclaimed holds. In the case of unreturned items to be designated as “Lost,” Roxanne noted that only the owning library should change the item status. Members noted that Richmond CC is not participating in CCLINC ILL, and that Lenoir and Montgomery are expected to participate after their holdings are completely added to the database.  

 

CONCLUSION:  All participating CCLINC campuses are strongly encouraged to abide by the CCLINC ILL policies. Future ILL training sessions, possibly onsite, will be scheduled if demand warrants.

 

ACTION:  Motion made (Harry), seconded (Libby) and passed by voice vote to accept the Lending Services Subcommittee’s proposed revisions of the CCLINC ILL Policies. After the document is updated to reflect the revisions, copies will be sent to all CCLINC members. After approval, a copy will be posted on the CCLINC web site.

 

¨Next Scheduled Meeting:  January 2005, date and time TBA

 

Ernest adjourned the meeting at 3:30 p.m.
