Approval of Agenda
One revision was made to the agenda for Celia Morse to deliver the Board report (no motion to approve agenda was sought)
Approval of Minutes from August 2011 Meeting
Minutes not available so approval was tabled until next month.
System Update – Anne Neville SVA- help desk tickets had been filed due to patrons getting paper notices that are signed up for email. Anne explained that one of the phone lines was experiencing “noise” and any calls in that queue were failing so that generated paper notices for those patrons.
SIRSI upgrade- it was successful. One of the new features is that a name search now comes with birth dates.
Passwords are changing on September 27th- all libraries should have received the new passwords in delivery.
Director’s Station will be upgraded to v4.9.1 this morning during this meeting time. Upgrade will fix a couple of known issues and include some performance enhancement.
Network Update- none
Report from TLN Brd/Executive Committee- Celia Morse Decision was made to move forward with the having the delivery numbers print on the Send slips; with the new SIRSI contract the pricing was better.
Testing is starting to see if PayPal model will work for online payments. There would be a single account for TLN, with fines being paid out to the owning library quarterly. Bank account has been approved. Minimum fine/fee that can be paid online will be $5. Transaction fees charged by PayPal will be spread out evenly across all libraries. No donations can be paid through PayPal. Anne will find out who we go to for problems- TLN or PayPay?
St. Claire is looking at joining TLN; their Dynix Legacy is at end of life. They have 11 branches and if they join it would add 800,000 items to TLN, and they would share ALL of them.
Ex. Comm ballots are due Sept. 28th.
Celia reported that it was the final board meeting for Betty Farhat who had been on the board since 2002; new member is Rita van Brandeghen. She is currently on Berkley's board and is retired from Detroit Public Library where she was head of the Conley branch.
A committee has been established to investigate current use and establish guidelines for use of non-resident profiles. Its first meeting follows this SASUG meeting. Any interested volunteers should contact Paul McCann (DEXT)..
Report from the Technical Services Committee - none Unfinished Business Reciprocal lending of audio-visual items within the Shared System Review of proposed motion that all AV materials that are holdable be shared with all member libraries after a 3 month NEW period, with the exception of items such as games, iPads, laptops, etc. Suggestion to add the word “recommended” to the 3 month maximum. Discussion of some libraries considering changes AV item types to the excepted types to get around having to share. Some in attendance felt we should, as a group, not share with those who do this; others were not comfortable with that strategy. No decision was made as to how to deal with those who choose not to share- each library will have to decide for themselves if they will reciprocate with them.
MOTION:
As of January 2012, all Item Types that permit holds must be available to all patrons of all Shared System libraries with the following exceptions:
NEW Item Types (e.g. NEW-BOOK, NEW-CD, NEW-DVD, etc), may be used to restrict holds to local. Items may be placed under a type so restricted for a recommended maximum of 3 months.
Item types used for computer hardware or other equipment (e.g. Kill-a-Watt, eReaders, laptops, computer games, etc.) may be restricted to local hold only.
This agreement will be on a trial basis for six (6) months. At the end of that time SASUG will review this policy and revise as needed.
Moved by Connie Jo Ozinga (COMM), seconded by Ed Rutkowski (BRIT). 24 in favor, 2 opposed. Motion passed.
In January Anne will do global changes by library. Notice will go out to each library asking if NEW are holdable or not, and what items will be Equipment. Anne will bring draft to ExComm. Libraries can start now to change if they want- send request help desk to TLN.
New Business Review language used in patron card expiration notices. Group felt it was too wordy; committee will revise and bring to next meeting.
New Item Types: REDF requested New Short Loan, New MP3 in prep for sharing AV. Motion to approve by Laura Gregory (MELV), seconded by Teresa Natzke (FRAN). Passed unanimously.
To prevent lots of single requests for new item types, libraries should review what new types they may need to accommodate AV sharing and bring them to the December SASUG for a vote.
Election of Secretary for 2011-2012 Jude Halloran HIGH nominated herself; no other nominations. Motion to accept nomination by Laura Gregory (MELV), seconded by Teresa Natzke (FRAN). Passed unanimously.
Nomination of Chair-elect/Chair for 2011-2013 Kate Pohjola, FERN was nominated. Vote will take place at October meeting.
Motion to adjourn meeting at 11:25 am by Paulette Medvecky (WAYN), seconded by Joan Rogers (WATE). Motion passed unanimously.

Steering Committee – Dave Ewick reported that the Steering Committee met on Monday, September 12. The Committee reviewed the Reciprocal Borrowing document that was drafted. At this point, the Committee feels comfortable in presenting this document to the full membership at the next Membership meeting, scheduled for Friday, November 4, at the Salem-South Lyon District Library. The Committee is also looking at changing the structure of the Steering Committee. It has become very difficult to get people to serve on this committee. Currently there are 11 members on the Committee, they would like to reduce this to seven members with a two year term in office rather than a three year term. The Committee would have one member representing Wayne County Libraries (a permanent seat); one member representing class VI; one member representing class V, one member representing class IV; one member representing classes I, II, II; and two at large seats that can held by any class library. Meetings would be reduced from 12 to 8 meetings per year. The choosing of representatives would be in alphabetical order of member libraries. Implementation of this Steering Committee would be in 2013. This is Dave Ewick’s last meeting representing the Steering Committee. The Chair of the Steering Committee for fiscal year 2011-2012 is Bill Harmer, Chelsea. Finance/Real Estate Committee –The Treasurer reported that the TLN Finance Committee met on Friday, September 9, at 1:30 pm to review the 2011-2012 TLN Budget, and to review the revised 2010-2011 TLN Budget. The Committee recommends to the Board adoption of both of these documents. Human Resources/Public Relations Committee –The Vice-Chair reported that theTLN Board Human Resources Committee met prior to this Board meeting today. The Committee reviewed TLN’s Executive Director’s evaluation. The Committee received 22 evaluations from the 30 that were solicited from members of the Board, Member library Directors at each class level, key committee leaders, and TLN Supervisors. Board Officers Nominations Committee – Reginald Williams and Lois VanStipdonk recommend the following Board nominations, for the fiscal year 2011-12: Michael Tyler – Chair Mark Wollenweber – Vice Chair Stephen Harper – Treasurer Barbara Glover - Secretary Voting will be done at the October 20th Board meeting. Director’s Report – Jim Pletz reported that five of TLN’s member Libraries have opted out of receiving delivery from TLN and have gone with an alternative delivery company. TLN Delivery is currently handling approximately 2.7 million pounds of materials annually at the cost of about .34 cents per item delivered. Jim Pletz presented certificates of recognition for TLN service: Betty Farhat, Board Secretary; Michael Tyler, Board Chair; and Lois VanStipdonk for service on the Board for elected terms from October 2008 through September 2011;

Chairman’s Report – Motion by Stephen Harper, supported by Lois VanStipdonk to adopt a certificate of special recognition for Jim Napiorkowski who served on the TLN Board as a representative of Wayne County Libraries for 16 ½ years. Motion carried unanimously. The Chair requested that the certificate be included at the end of the minutes for this meeting. 10.

TLN Steering Committee Meeting
September 12, 2011, Southfield Public Library
Members Present: Dave Ewick (Southfield), Julie Herrin (Northville), Jim Pletz (TLN), Lisa Hoenig
(Redford), Jill Morey (Ypsilanti), Anne Hage (Huntington Woods), Bill Harmer (Chelsea), Maryanne
Bartles (Dearborn), Paula Gauthier (Brandon), Mary Karshner (Royal Oak).
Guests Present: Pat Thomas (Plymouth).
I. Call to order at 1:33 p.m. by Chair Dave Ewick.
II. Introductions/Announcements – no announcements.
III. Approval of Agenda –Motion by Bill Harmer, seconded by Anne Hage to approve the agenda
as presented. Motion carried.
IV. Approval of Minutes – Motion by Maryanne Bartles, seconded by Julie Herrin to approve the
minutes of the August 8, 2011 meeting with a correction to the spelling of Maryanne’s last
name. Motion carried.
V. Director’s Report: Jim Pletz shared a list of member libraries by class size (this will change
with implementation of 2010 Census figures). He also gave a report on delivery costs,
which will increase significantly over the next 2 years. Union negotiations are ongoing.
The fact finder should have a report around Thanksgiving, then there will be a 60-day
cooling off period, after which TLN could impose its last best offer. The first of January is
the earliest we could see a savings. Board has authorized a contract that approves
subcontracting – the union isn’t going to like that. Governor Snyder’s budget next year
may change things. TLN will be able to negotiate with potential new members for SAS,
which would help with shared costs. Brief mention of WAN RFP, NoveList and Movie
Licensing USA group pricing status. Dearborn/Dearborn Heights reciprocity seems to be
going well so far.
VI. Chair’s Report
a. Steering Committee membership proposal: Dave Ewick and Jill Morey’s terms expire
with this meeting, but only one of these two Class VI seats has been filled. Discussion
ensued regarding the number of representatives proposed for a restructured committee –
suggestion of 5 representatives (Class VI, V, IV, combined for Class III, II & I, and a
permanent seat for Wayne County) plus 2 At-Large positions. Motion to present an
amended proposal to the membership made by Paula Gauthier, seconded by Julie
Herrin. Motion carried. Dave Ewick will e-mail the amended proposal to membership.
If it is well-received, it will be presented at the membership meeting in November.
b. Reciprocal borrowing guidelines: Dave Ewick shared e-mail responses from member
directors and a new draft addressing their concerns. The revisions were discussed and a
few more minor changes made. Motion by Bill Harmer, seconded by Mary Karshner to
send the revised guidelines to the membership for final review. Will go on the
membership meeting agenda in November.
APPROVED: 10/10/11
c. Dave Ewick expressed gratitude for his experience on the committee as he steps down
as Chair.

with City Council micromanaging the Library’s A/V budget. They propose charging for a

him at the Farmington Players Clubhouse, last weekend in September, and 3 weekends in

TLN Adult Services – August 1, 2011, Salem – South Lyon Library, South Lyon, MI Call to order: 9:33 am by Jillian Essenmacher. Approval of the minutes: June minutes approved New Business: Fall Workshop The workshop will be on October 5, 2011 at the Plymouth District Library. Program runs from 9:00 am to 1:00pm, with registration from 9:00 am to 9:30 am. The overall theme is technology, but the committee is still looking for input on the actual workshop name. Three speakers have been retained:
1. Kathryn Bergeron from Baldwin Public Library will discuss e-readers 2. Holly Hibner from Plymouth District Library will discuss web resources 3. Eric Hayes from Royal Oak Public Library will discuss apps for mobile devices
The TLN steering committee has allocated $1000 for this year’s workshop, up from the previous $500. It was suggested that a display of ebook readers could be included, similar to the “eReader petting zoo” at a recent MCLS program. Announcements will be sent to the WSU and UM listservs to invite students to attend the workshop. The committee discussed the possibility of recording this workshop; this would be especially appropriate this year in line with the technology theme. Book Clubs The committee discussed different ways to obtain multiple copies of books for library book clubs. Salem-South Lyon requests multiple copies of the book using a dummy book club library card. At meetings, the books are checked out to patron accounts with an extension of the loan period. Highland has similar procedure, but does not check out books to patrons. Springfield does most ordering through MEL, because more copies are available. At White Lake, patrons are responsible for obtaining their own copy for in-library book clubs. But for book clubs conducted offsite at senior centers, books are checked out to the institution’s library card, with a manual list kept of which patron gets which book. It was noted that Northville buys many copies of popular titles for their book club collection; these are individual copies, not part of book club kits. There was a general discussion about book clubs. Recommended titles: “Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh; Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh. WHLK is looking for suggestions for “linear” fiction (for older readers who have trouble with shifts in time or point of view.) Most book clubs meet every month, but Highland takes July and August off, SLYN takes November and December off, Commerce has an open meeting in May, with food and opportunity to suggest new books. 2012 Meeting Schedule (tentative) Feb 6 – MDHT Apr 2 – REDF or field trip June 4 - To be determined (COMM is now unable to host) Aug 6 – ROAK Oct 1 – HIGH Dec 3 –SLYN
