LGS is maintaining its microfilm copying and mastering operations in the Main Library, pending further review of its space and service plans. There are no existing commitments made for the vacated space, the use of which will be reviewed as part of the building reconfiguration exercise. Public Laser Printing Frances O'Brien and Bill Mischo outlined the plans for providing printing services in libraries, using a customized IBM software package. The plan will involve the replacement of dot matrix printers with laser printers. Library users who do not posses net IDs will be able to route printing orders to staffed locations where they may pay for their output.
Documentation describing the service is still to be written.
New printers provided by LGS will be installed by the Library Systems Office in 26 high-use libraries in or after the week of 17 August 1998. The service will be reviewed after one year. Frances O'Brien agreed to work with Nancy to develop a statement, to be placed on the Library's web site, concerning sites where lost property might be retrieved. The statement is to be circulated by email to Administrative Council members for comment.
