Chisaki) Acting Director Chisaki reported that Materials Security and Inventory System (RFID) bids were due back November 4th at 3:00 p.m. Supervising Librarian David Hall is currently reviewing all 5 bids. The cost ranges from $207,000 - $253,644 which includes training from the company. Maintenance costs would run between $10,000 - $20,000 per year. Board member Butter asked if the price includes adapting our current equipment to make it compatible. Ms. Chisaki stated that this is currently being reviewed by David Hall. She will report back to the Board at the December 14th meeting. 4. NEW BUSINESS A. Discussion and Approval of Exam Proctoring Guidelines (J. Chisaki) Acting Library Director Chisaki discussed how many community libraries proctor exams and the charges for these services. She explained that it takes approximately 2-3 hours to proctor an exam. During that time the librarians must secure an area with a computer for the patron. It is sometimes very difficult to reserve that much time for computer use. She also stated that librarians must remain in that area to supervise the patron while taking the exam. Board member Butter asked why we are charging so little for our exam process since it is an inconvenience for the librarians. Ms. Butter stated that she would like some data on how many we proctor each year and the time involved before she makes a decision. Ms. Chisaki stated that she would bring this back before the Board next month. Vice President Belikove asked who wanted the guidelines. Ms. Chisaki stated that the reference librarians asked for guidelines. B. Approval for Early Holiday Closure (J. Chisaki) Acting Director Chisaki discussed how the actual holidays fall on a Sunday but the City's holiday schedule allows for a Monday closures. She asked the Board to approve Sunday closures for Christmas and New Year's Day as well as an early closure (3:00 p.m.) for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. | LibraryBoard/2005-11-09.pdf |
