Decisions at AAC

The following decisions were made at the Friday AAC meeting:

1. The OWLSnet plan developed by the OWLSnet Planning Committee was approved.

2. Nonfiction and fiction videos will now circulate for 1 week with 2 renewals at all OWLSnet libraries. Previously, most videos circulated for 1 week with 1 renewal, and some libraries circulated nonfiction videos for 4 weeks. The 4 week nonfiction video option has been eliminated. The loan rules have already been changed, and the change will take effect tomorrow morning. This will only affect new items checked out, items previously checked out will not be affected.

3. We agreed to restrict the Employee Ptype to active employees. Each library will receive a list of all their patrons with an employee Ptype to make sure that only active employees are included.

4. We agreed that it would be a good idea for OWLS to clear the holdshelf once a week on Wednesdays at 4 PM. If any items show up to be cleared, we'll contact that library directly.

Have a good weekend!
