Action items for today’s meeting

Jamie’s action items – status report from Jamie

  1. ILLiad next steps, specifically 7.2 upgrade (web pages) and future customizations.
  2. Due date change parameter testing – testing needs to begin in early August to meet October implementation timeline.
  3. Patron scrubbing test plan.
  4. Status of work plan priorities.
  5. Parking Lot topic- reduce fine amount or use a number of lost items to trigger blocks in Aleph. Is this possible?
  6. Parking Lot topic – alumni and special borrowers – regard other USMAI members’ registered alumni and special borrowers as active patrons and circulate materials to them, allowing for limitations ascribed by the individual lending libraries. Is this possible?
  7. Status of Circ/Res/ILL RX’s – we think all outstanding RX’s that came up during your absence have been resolved – please confirm for us.
  8. OCLC Union listing – Carol is exploring cost and parameters to export this data to OCLC. Is this on the workplan; is it a realistic action item?
