Present: Acosta (chair & recorder), Baroza, Caratto, Gmelin, Hasegawa, Miyaji, Nelson, Soriano, Tom.
The Committee welcomes its new members, Hilda Baroza (UH Medical School Library), Carla Caratto (UH Law School Library), and Stephanie Nelson (Kapiolani CC).
Nelson reminded the group that the Voyager patch scheduled for installation on 8/12 will correct the display and printing problems for locations.
The UH School of Travel Industry Management (TIM) will become its own Voyager site possibly beginning Fall semester. However, no one expects them to jump into ISL operations immediately.
The Draft 3 revision to the Libraries of the University of Hawaii System IntraSystem Loan (ISL) Policy was discussed and revised to its Final Draft form by the Committee. This draft will be sent to Nancy Heu by 5:00 today so that it may be presented to the Library Council tomorrow.
The document currently titled "Intrasystem Lending Policies" was discussed. Since it was unknown if the printed document brought to the meeting by Soriano was the latest draft, it was circulated around the table for corrections. Acosta will attach a file (Excel) to the meeting minutes draft that incorporates these corrections. It was agreed that, no matter what the title, this document need not become part of, or referred to, in the ISL Policy.
The Committee also recommended changes to the Libraries of the University of Hawaii System IntraSystem Loan (ISL) Procedure. These changes will be incorporated into a draft revision (8/11/05) that will also be sent to Nancy Heu today.
The discussion on the wording of the supplying library procedure sentence "Requesting library pays postage both ways" prompted a discussion about the possibility of eliminating postage charges. It was felt that ISL traffic has become more evenly distributed among the campuses, and that charges balance if each library pays for its own outgoing postage. However, it was agreed that for the purposes of the Procedures under review that postage would still remain the reponsibility of the requesting library, but that the issue will be discussed further as actual postage figures from each campus are acquired.
Acosta will add to the ISL contact list the Committee's new members and attach to the meeting minutes draft for review.
