1. Mental Health Training Sessions by Gannett

Carmen described a new program sponsored by Gannett Health Services which
aims to help staff and faculty recognize when a person is in distress and
how to respond. Members of the program will start out by providing two
presentations for library public services staff:

-- Sept. 25th 9:00am at Access Services Open Forum meeting (group will
have time for a 1 1/4 hour presentation)

-- Oct. 24th 3:00-4:15 in Kroch (afternoon time intended to include
evening and weekend staff).

1a. Disabilities Services

In addition to working with the Students in Distress program at Gannett,
Bethany Silfer is the library representative to campus Disability
Services. She is working to make library services for patrons with
disabilities more visible. See the page at
http://www.library.cornell.edu/services/disability.html and contact
Bethany with any suggestions for the page.


2. Request for New Locations

The committee discussed the proposed new location designations of
materials in the Icelandic Collection, and how they would display in the
online catalog since Icelandic is no longer a separate shelving location.

3. July 24 Open Forum Agenda

Agenda items to include Blackboard and reserves (dates and review of
procedures); announcement about Disability Services and training,
announcement of new Fall hours at Olin and Uris; Get it! updates from
