LibraryBoard | 2006-08-09 | 2 | Page 2 of 6 Minutes of the Library Board Meeting August 9, 2006 UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Materials Security and Inventory System - Update (J. Chisaki) Director Chisaki stated there was nothing much new to report at this time, as Supervising Librarian David Hall, who heads up the project, had been on vacation for a couple of weeks. Board Member Butter asked if there was a plan in place to ensure that the RFID equipment would function properly. Chisaki indicated that testing will start at both the Main and the branches in mid-October, and technicians will be on hand to monitor and adjust the equipment. However, testing the system when the building is empty is a whole different thing than when you have people coming and going with electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers, laptops, etc. The system will need further adjustment to accommodate these interferences, so a technician will be on site in the peak hours to tweak the system as needed. The RFID system is much more sensitive then the magnetic strips that are currently in place. Board Member Schoenrock quoted from the Director's report that 158,038 items have been tagged, but that doesn't give a sense of what the entire collection would be. Director Chisaki responded that the collection sits at about 250,000, and the next big chunk to be tagged are paperbacks. A lot of the periodicals currently in the system will not be going with us, and will not need tagging, but they are still part of the total system count at this time. B. Meeting Room Use in New Main Library (J. Chisaki) President Krongold stated she had several questions on the Meeting Room Use document that was distributed with the Board packet. A decision was made to go through each item in order and each member could ask the questions they had, if any. In the end, there were several revisions and language enhancements suggested, and Director Chisaki promised to re-work the document and bring it back to the Board at the September 2006 meeting. NEW BUSINESS A. Election of Library Board Officers (J. Chisaki) Board President Krongold asked for nominations for President. Board Member Schoenrock responded by nominating Board Member Butter; the nomination was seconded by Board Member Mitchell. Butter accepted the nomination, and as there were no other nominations forthcoming, a vote was taken and Butter was elected to President in a 5-0 vote. Outgoing President Krongold asked for nominations for Vice President. The Board as a whole asked current Vice President Belikove if she would be interested in continuing her role. Belikove accepted, and was re-elected by a 5-0 vote. At this point, outgoing President Krongold handed the meeting lead over to incoming President Butter. | LibraryBoard/2006-08-09.pdf |
