Handout: Report and Recommendations to PSEC

The team is seeking the go ahead to proceed in the areas of:

Authentication

• One of the hang-ups is logins
• The team has been working in the test system to work out the bugs
• PSEC expresses concern with logging out of the catalog and logging out of Kerberos; making sure people completely log off especially on public computers
• Can log into Voyager or Borrow Direct with net id
• Can renew books, view personal information, and make requests
• Patrons without net id’s can also login with Cornell Id #
• Implementation will be after the forum on 9/18

Distributed scanning

• Scanning done at owning library

Request and delivery services maintenance model

Distance services

Buy or Borrow

Free Local Document Delivery

• Maybe we should put a limit on how many someone can request
• Should let patrons know how long it will take to receive a request to reduce the instances of users requesting a lot of materials that they need immediately.

Instruction

Jean has received requests for beginning instructor training and the Instruction Committee is working to respond.

The Subject Libraries held two discussions about instruction needs and concerns. Jean will share notes with the instruction committee.
