Paula will let the Provost and the Senate Committee on the Library know about the decision. She plans to deal with the backlog by September 1 and will have a plan for AC by then. It was suggested that at ALA she find out the scope of other libraries' backlogs compared to the size of their collections and who has done recon. Policies for Inclusion of Individuals on LibNews Paula Watson and Sara Randall discussed LibNewsL and who should receive the messages that go out on LibNewL. Currently the list is based on the Library telephone directory. Adjunct and affiliated agencies also need to be included, as well as anyone who has an office in the building.
Emeritus faculty are also on the list.
Bart Clark will look over the LibNewsL list, make proposals, and come back with an official statement. Sara asked about the possibility of making the on-line version of the Library phone directory the official copy. The on-line version could be printed occasionally and made available for those who need a printed copy. A decision will be made during the summer. The Cataloging Process Task Force Report will be discussed at the next meeting.
