4. Discuss new item type requested, "Book2"

   Coralina Daly requested a new item type for ‘Special Collection’ books that will have a different fine structure. A new item type is needed because of the different fine structure, no other alternative will be useful. A new item type of ‘Special’ was proposed to the committee. Beth will send an e-mail out to poll WYLD members regarding use of this new format. The results will be sent to committee members for final approval.

5. Discuss changing item type "ILL-Book" to "ILL"

   Discussion ensued and the above was accepted.

6. Discuss playaway audio book format.

   A new format for audio books is being used, primarily, by the public libraries and an initial discussion was started. Des stated that the term "playaway" refers to a brand name and not a general description so that the use of this term is not appropriate for an item type. Des suggested using "MP3" as an item type to describe this type of audio book. Discussion will continue at the next committee meeting.

7. Discuss McNaughton book plan, lease option.

   Some libraries are adding books through the McNaughton Company. Some will be leased books and some bought books. Casper College Library will lease the books and will investigate using the existing item type of "leased book". Des pointed out that if the fine structure and loan period are the same then it might make more sense to use "book" as an item type. If someone was searching and limited it to "book" as an item type then none of the leased books would be displayed.

8. Schedule next meeting

   The next meeting of the committee will be in September.
