2. Current Projects
Request Failures: Documentation on how to identify and resolve request failures
Failed requests pose biggest problem for staff, not patrons
Main categories: 1) Non-Failure, 2) EDD, 3) Duplicate Holdings and 4) Staff
New notification has helped put patrons in touch about problems

3. Advance Notification of Circ Status
Problem solving how to alert patrons that an item is non-circulating / In Library use only
Two factors currently determine circ status for ReCAP collections: encoding and physical condition
Communicate via CLIO location display, request form and notifications

4. Reaccessions Recent discovery: Barcodes can be reaccessioned at ReCAP
78 items have been reaccessioned since 2002
Points of discussion:
Does CUL allow items to be reaccessioned?
How should withdrawal procedures change?
How does ReCAP staff identify reaccessions?
How does CUL staff know to follow-up on suppression?

5. Item Status
3,129 items currently IN at ReCAP had an inappropriate Item Status applied
Withdrawn, Missing, In Process, Cataloging Review, Circulation Review and At Bindery
Item Status can affect both perception and agency of patron access to Offsite collections
All resolved and quarterly reports planned moving forward

6. Department Library Projects
Music: eliminating obsolete CLIO locations which have offsite barcodes assigned
Business: searching/resolving items with CLIO location bus,anx2. Approx 5,000 items: half already supprssed. 20% of unsuppressed were found on shelf; approx 5% of suppressed
Voyager bug found: Pick and Scan. If MFHD is suppressed and other change made with P&S then it will automatically unsuppress the MFHD

7. Infrastructure
Wooden carts and plastic totes have been in shorter supply
Wooden carts are needed for transfer of new acquisitions from BSP to ReCAP via daily courier
Also needed for archive deliveries – Clancy-Cullen no longer allows use of their carts
Plastics totes have been in shorter supply as retrieval volume increases

8. Infrastructure 12 more wooden carts purchased and repair now complete
Residual repair will be coordinated via Zack Lane and Bill Austin
BSP backlog will be addressed by Clancy pick up on 12/16/2010
100 new plastic totes will be ordered shortly. Should be in circulation by Spring.
