Services had a slight overage due to an ADP rate increase from overtime and training.

Board officers will be the same for the next year. The Board approved the Gleaners Food for Fines

program and were updated on the RFP for the shared system.

No report.

Unfinished Business

A. Update on catalog enhancements – Enterprise, E-

Resource Central, Odilo, Social Library, online user registration, group cards, etc. – A. Ne

ville

A few libraries are interested in the Group Cards but there has not been any response about the

cards.

B. MeLCat/NCIP update A. Neville

Neville reported that libraries may not revisit their decision to be AV or no AV MelCat lenders

until the migration to a new system has been completed.

C. Brandon Township Public Library update P. McCann

McCann asked if there was anything we can do at this point. Pletz reported we can only wait for

an official notice of intent to leave SAS. A letter was sent to Brandon Library giving them a

timeline for leaving.

D. ILS-RFP Committee report P. McCann/A. Rosen/C. Morse

Morse reported the RFP was released 9/19. 10/3 was the deadline for notice of intent to bid and 5

vendors responded. 11/1 was the deadline for proposals. The RFP committee will meet on

November 4 at the Redford Library.

E Further input on member library certification P. McCann

Concerns about non-compliance libraries may jeopardize funding for the cooperative. This also

puts pressure on shared system members.

F. Sister Library program P. McCann

McCann asked Neville to run a report showing libraries who have added the fewest items over the

last year and a report of the libraries who have added the most items over the same period. The

hope is that the larger libraries can help the less funded libraries.

New Business

Issues that came up in the focus groups were functionality. Some member libraries have threatened

to leave the shared system if we change.

B. Sirsi webinar on SaaS (Software as a Service) T. LaPorte
