Unfinished Business
A. TLC/CARL issue progress A. Neville/C. Morse
Morse reported that the change to serial records from chronology and enumeration for certain
items will make them display better with FRBR. In the upgraded test catalog with FRBR title
searching looks better, formats display better, there are some quirks with cover art, and series
are looking pretty good.
Inman is still working to import Overdrive records; some are old and need updating. One click
download for MCLS records is still being worked on.
Carl Connect is working well for libraries using it.
B. Fines/Blocks/User profiles P. Braden Schaaf and the committee continue to work on it. NOVI and WATE are changing their default
user profile and BELL is considering a change.
C. Auto renewal for items from SASUG A. Neville
Neville reported that testing will occur after the first of the year. Depending how things go it
may be possible to have libraries opt out.
D. Auto renewal for patron cards from SASUG A. Neville
Waiting for questions/preferences from SAS libraries. Will be discussed at TLC-U. Lobert will
send an email to SAS libraries soliciting questions/preferences. It’s a system-wide feature.

The Circ Committee is discussing. Recommendations will be brought to the Steering
Committee.

H. Billing formula and renewals M. Smith
In light of the change next year to auto-renewal of items, the SAS billing formula was discussed.
McCann distributed a spreadsheet showing the impact of removing renewals from the
circulation calculation used in the formula. After discussion of the potential for uneven swings
in circulation counts due to different numbers of renewals allowed by different libraries, Lenze
moved “The Executive Committee of the Shared Automation System Users Group
recommends to the Shared Automation System Users Group to calculate circulation in the
2020-2021 budget year by counting checkouts only, not counting any renewals.” Motion
seconded by Smith. Motion approved (Yes 8, No 0, Absent 1)
New Business
A. Discussion about last copies P. McCann
McCann wondered if there is value in trying to create a policy about preserving the last copy of
an item in CarlX. Smith mentioned that at REDF weeding is pretty aggressive now and the focus
is on retaining and acquiring items of quality that will circulate. No one was inclined to draft a
policy.
Other Items from Committee members
Lenze shared that Chicago will be going fine free and allowing 15 auto renewals.
Braden motioned to adjourn the meeting at 3:11. Seconded by Rutkowski. Meeting adjourned
(Yes 8, No 0, Absent 1).
