Statistics posted online

(Tabled from previous meeting)

• Have been posting monthly statistics online.
• MALCs have not been able to access because of the firewall.
• Do we need to continue maintaining the website?

Annex

• MALC directors noticed requests from their libraries for materials in Annex.
• Was this perhaps during the summer when Annex copies were not retrievable?
• Hesburgh has had a complaint about loan periods for journals. Because of delivery times, a journal that had been requested was already overdue when the patron received it. Will consider extending loan time for bound journals (referred to Cheri and Lou).

Circulation Notices

• Adapted script from MIT to send email notices from the server, instead of using the Print Daemon.
• Justin and Tracey have been revising the templates to be more uniform.
• After Christmas, will implement, so that Print Daemon will only handle printed notices, no email.

Records without Holdings

• About 28,000 Bib Records w/o holdings/items
  • Large portion (20K) appear to be attempted deletes with LDR field only
• May be good to focus on records with valid OCLC numbers (in case our symbol is in OCLC)
• May be microforms
• Special collections in process records
• Doc Center records
• Will run reports for each MALC
