      1. Lesley had asked that the 505 discussion be readdressed. The committee voted to leave the decision from the last meeting stand.
4. Serials
   1. Discussion about serials and what the committee wants to accomplish and how to accomplish it. Bobbi stated the problem is still the number of barcoded issues that are being retained. Enforcement is a problem. Bobbi will talk to Marc about running a report of the libraries that have more than 60 issues.
5. eAudiobooks service
   1. The eAudiobooks have been loaded. Beth had some concerns over the way the library search groups don’t work well with browse searching. Des said she hasn’t had any other complaints about the service. Susan expressed concern over the indexing and Des stated that after the keyword index rebuild that happens the first Saturday of every month that the records would fall back into reverse chronological order.
6. User activity log results
   1. Stephen discussed the user activity logs and that they are a useful resource for looking at how patrons use the catalog. Beth stated the user activity logs could be useful as a collection development tool as well.
7. Duplicate bib records
   1. Bobbi stated that she is still finding duplicate records on a daily basis, the Baker & Taylor AV records are particularly problematic because the catalog number on those appears in the 020 as an ISBN and that becomes the title control number, when another library brings in a record from OCLC they don’t match and it causes a duplicate record. Discussion about further acquisition training ensued. Beth will bring the issue to the next training committee to see if it can be addressed at the next annual WYLD meeting. Beth will bring a report back to the committee at the next meeting.
8. New business
   1. Des suggested the committee discuss the Gale MARC records for eAudiobooks at the next meeting.
9. Announcements
   1. Des informed the committee that Marc will be upgrading the Unicorn software to GL3.1 over New Year’s weekend. When users log in for the first time after New Year’s weekend they will be prompted to update their Workflows client and at that point WYLD will be encouraging libraries to download and test the java client.
10. Schedule next meeting
    1. Next meeting will be Wednesday, January 17th, at 10:00 am.
