I guess attachments don't work too well.  Here it is again.  Sorry for the 
previous message's unreadability.

IMC Librarians’ Meeting Minutes for May 10, 2001
Attending: Ellen Knutson, Mike Brunelle, James Jacobs

Meeting came to order at 5:15pm.

I. Brainstorming about magazines:

 1. Much of the time was spent on organization issues involving our growing 
magazine collection.  Since we are beginning to receive subscriptions for 
magazines, now is the time to implement a process by which they can be 
organized and tracked.  Mike will organize the current collection, breaking 
them down into journals, zines, and newsletters.

2. A magazine database was also discussed. Ellen and Mike will begin looking 
into design issues.

3. A check-in process is needed.  It must be straight-forward so as to be 
easily handled by volunteer staff. This will be discussed in more detail next 
week.

II. Tasks were set for the next week. Mike agreed to organize the current 
collection.  Ellen will add new books to the shelf list. James will write 
another subscription letter geared toward local and national newspapers.

III. Some time was spent cleaning out the librarians’ mailbox, and organizing 
zines.

IV. Meeting adjourned at 6:25PM.

Respectfully submitted,

James Jacobs
