CDMTT meeting

This meeting took place on 21 October. The meeting welcomed Ms Neli Kuanda back (after maternity leave) and it was chaired by Mrs Annette Liebenberg.

ERC Books – The distribution of books from the ERC to other libraries is going slow at the moment due to a lack of space at ACP (Acquisitions, Cataloguing and Physical Processing).

ECR – There are some errors in the bib records of ERC items, this might be due to the possibility that some data might be incorrectly entered when ERC’s are done. Mrs Liebenberg will supply the detail to April, who will follow up on this.

Cleaning up of location codes – The clean-up of location codes at DFC has been completed. Attention is still being given to other errors in the catalogue.

E-book strategy – This strategy is mainly in regards to text books. The development of the strategy has been handed over to Ms Kaunda and is still in process.

Thesis and dissertations – This issue is specific to APK. Work on separating thesis and dissertations from other books will start in November. Mrs Liebenberg will investigate the possibility of making this collection searchable on the catalogue.

Xerox (Bytes) and Konica Minolta - Printing and Photocopying

As from next year, printing and photocopying services will be done by Konica Minolta according to a circular distributed electronically on 20 October. More detailed information is available on the Intranet: log onto the UJ Intranet and click on Printing Facilities 2012.
