Yellow receipts used by Manchester District Library are acceptable as long as library
information is written in black if the item is going back to owning library and written in red if
the item is to fill a hold.
SASUG report-Becky (MDHT)
Our policy changes were approved. All libraries should clean up the database as much as possible. Examples are: If an item is missing more than a year, it should be moved to the discard user. Collection information over 7 years old can be removed.
Discussion of reports TLN can do for us Examples are: Long overdue report (Can have patrons barred using this report)-suggested by Terri (CHEL) Lost and paid report (Can contact library that accepted payment if they have not forwarded the money)-suggested by Jon (WATE) Discussion of lost items Judy (NORT) reminded us to mark items as lost and the system will add the processing fee to the bill. Do not take payment without calling the owning library first to do a shelf check. Becky (MDHT) reminded us payment may be made using the catalog; owning library receives the money; discourages sending cash through the delivery Bill (COMM) shared that Section 4 of our policy deals with lost items and accepting payment. Patti (SLYN) suggests putting damaged items in a bag, so it alerts the home library of a problem when receiving the item in delivery. Processing fee survey-Bill (COMM) Our survey regarding processing fees is three years old. Survey was passed around at the meeting so changes could be made. Plans to call other libraries so they can update their policy. Survey is not a substitute for calling the owning library. New applicants-Terri (CHEL) Enter as much information as possible to include: first, middle, and last names, birth date, and driver’s license number. Driver’s license number should be entered without spaces. Terri (CHEL) began a discussion on fees for MeLCat items. The borrowing library may charge fines, but MeLCat does not charge fines for items that are overdue. Discussion of library cards for digital use-Kelly (FERN) Ferndale is working with local schools for students to get library cards. There was a problem with one parent not wanting her child to have a library card. The teacher wants the student to
get a special card to be able to access digital services only. Committee shared concerns about the e-card being in the system and it was pointed out that SASUG would have to approve. The meeting was adjourned at 11:48am. The motion was made by Terri (CHEL) and seconded by Jon (WATE). The next meeting is May 11, 9:30am at Birmingham Baldwin Library.
