| **New surveys on lending AV and LOTE items (In progress)**. Anne will look into creating new surveys in 2022 to help determine which libraries are willing to lend AV and also which have LOTE collections and are able to supply – the latter will be useful for patrons who have read through most of a specific language at the SLNSW. | **New surveys on lending AV and LOTE items (In progress)**.

| - | When setting up the new Dokuwiki and reviewing old wiki pages, Anne discovered that an AV survey had previously been undertaken a few years earlier but a refresh is needed as the terminology has changed. A draft AV form has been created by Anne (MS form). The main areas covered for the AV survey are the various formats contained in both adult and junior collections and which are libraries willing to lend? Here is the link to the Sample AV form (adapted from the 2014 survey). This is currently a work in progress as the form needs more work done. Any volunteers? | + | When setting up the new Dokuwiki and reviewing old wiki pages, Anne discovered that an AV survey had previously been undertaken a few years earlier but a refresh is needed as the terminology has changed.

| - | Once this survey has been completed, a similar survey for LOTE material will be created with questions such as: are you willing to lend books, talking books, etc.? This survey will be useful for providing information about magazines in other languages. Abby (SLNSW) mentioned that the LOTE survey would be particularly useful for SLNSW as they receive enquiries from libraries regarding languages that they may not stock. If we can have an idea about which libraries carry these languages and are willing to supply, it would be of benefit to everyone. | + | Once this survey has been completed, a similar survey for LOTE material will be created with questions such as: are you willing to lend books, talking books, etc.?

| Teresita (Waverley) has informed the Group that this number is actually located at the bottom of the Trove bibliographic record and it matches with the local number in LADD – this provides the unique number and its benefits while searching and ordering for interlending. Teresita’s previous understanding of the need for it to be displayed in Trove has been resolved however slowing down of navigation issues exist e.g. the increased need to go to different screens in order to get single requests done as well as having to return to the previous ones. The increased accuracy of libraries’ holdings with the Trove Partners Data Harvesting Project has led to Trove being favoured over Libraries Australia for Interlibrary Loans.\\ | Teresita (Waverley) has informed the Group that this number is actually located at the bottom of the Trove bibliographic record and it matches with the local number in LADD – this provides the unique number and its benefits while searching and ordering for interlending.

| - | **Searching Victorian libraries (Resolved)**. With V-Link now defunct, check with Victorian-based libraries to see what they suggest to aid searching. **Answer**: Best option is to search Trove/LA. Most Victorian Libraries have set up/are in the process of setting up “live harvesting” so holdings should be quite accurate.

| **SLNSW Catalogue training** Maria sent an email on 5th August 2021 asking if anyone would be interested in a training session demonstrating how to use the new SLNSW catalogue. Due to the response, Zoom sessions will be organised - one in the morning and one in the afternoon, to be held on different days. A Zoom meeting invite will be sent in a fortnight or so and the training will take around 30 minutes. The demonstration will involve topics such as searching for a known item, serial and newspaper.\\ | **SLNSW Catalogue training** Maria sent an email on 5th August 2021 asking if anyone would be interested in a training session demonstrating how to use the new SLNSW catalogue.
