+ | |||
+ | **Western: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **NLS Response:** We are cognizant of patron series requests, are trying to fill in the gaps. They are addressing the issues | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Western: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **NLS Response:** Cards are sent when books are put into the Xess system and then are approved for disposal. This keeps the flow of books on an even stream for the contractor who is disposing the books.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Western: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **NLS Response:** Digital players are available. NLS cannot figure out why the catalog says “out of stock”. They are in stock and simply order and the multi-states are happy to send machines.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Western: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **NLS Response:** IQ 5 Battery analyzer for the C1 batteries will be adapted for the digital batteries. An adaptor is in QA and they will be sent to the field when they pass QA which is expected within the month. There are not enough adaptors for every library to have many so the quota will probably be 2-3 adaptors per group.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Midlands: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **NLS Response:** Karen there will probably be a move to an annual conference call for meetings and so can stick with the two year term.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Midlands: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **NLS Response:** Jane – it was not a survey; it was a focus group in DC area. Public Education group was informed to communicate to the network. Also Reingold conducted 25 interviews for those who did not use the service. Karen apologies for the confusion on this issue. Reingold will be presenting on their plans and results and we will get an update.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Southern:** NLS national conference, conference rate? Other registration information? | ||
- | **West** | + | **NLS Response:** MaryBeth – hotel costs $109/night. By mid-February |
