Agenda <strong>Item</strong> Matters arising Action<br />
Operations:<br />
‣ Slow when issuing many items to one reader<br />
‣ Date order is missing in several parts of the system – a basic requirement<br />
Acquisitions<br />
‣ Acquisitions: Crawley didn’t like Autolib’s order letter, and lack of filing<br />
order on each order. Mid-Kent found Acquisitions orders fine – no problem<br />
Circulations<br />
‣ Reserving and renewing online? West Kent uses this, with the reader<br />
having a specific Autolib password<br />
‣ Self-issuing? Tried in Mid-Kent, but could not get it working. (Plescon selfissue<br />
equipment)<br />
‣ Overdues by email? Not working universally.<br />
‣ Load readers’ photos? Esher College tried this, and consequently lost the<br />
fines and history buttons from the issue screen<br />
Reports<br />
‣ Management information and statistics – unreliable and/or slow (2 colleges<br />
reported discrepancies in statistics gathered eg issue counts)<br />
‣ Slow speed in running reports (over an hour in one case) and reports not<br />
intuitive<br />
Serials<br />
‣ Serials – there are problems generally with this module<br />
‣ Crawley is waiting for it to run properly, and has not yet paid for the<br />
module, although using it since January (still using manual system as well)<br />
‣ Articles do not link with the periodical copy on the OPAC<br />
Stocktaking<br />
‣ Stocktaking? Problems in 2 colleges. Lists of accession numbers by<br />
themselves are not very helpful when you have to go back and find the<br />
book on the shelves. Direct connection to the catalogue is needed.
