Board Member Landry inquired about the new Inland Library Network and configuration setting issues. Ms. Mellon responded the issue was patrons were able to check-out more items of a category than what is allowed by the Council's policy due to the way items are cataloged and/or categorized within the different libraries in the system. Ms. Rolfe confirmed the issue and stated it has been corrected and we are in compliance with policy. President Pro-Tem McGregor inquired about condensing the system's bibliographic records. Ms. Rolfe responded they are performing a bibliographic record clean-up and explained the work which is in progress.
