Old Business / Updates from Previous Action Items

• Multiple format combos (MP3 & CD audio for audiobooks; DVD & Blu-ray for videos) split records and circ as separate items (related packaging costs) versus one record and single circ : review of current practice
• Age-protect all new items
  • reports/consensus
  • policy/scope

New Business

• T. Streb reported that libraries with items on hold that have been marked missing/lost are not reporting the status change to the requesting library.
• Committee members considered several new features of Evergreen 2.2 that require a specific library setting/configuration.

Actions

• Lindsay will review Holds missing/lost policy at OWWLUG.
• Jim will summarize aspects of today's discussion on age protection

Outcomes

• Multiple format combos policy is accepted/reaffirmed as OWWL policy.
• Age-protection policy is tabled pending further review and consideration.
  • Most questions revolved around implementation & policy: which type of items affected, periods of protection
  • Resistance mainly resulting from perception that policy would include all items or treat similar items the same across the board or that implementation would increase workload
  • Representatives more open to limited implementation, particularly for libraries that might buy several copies and only age-protect one or some.
