5. Actions arising from previous meeting

Unordered List Item SLNSW ILL e-list issue - resolved. The issue with emailing to the NSW ILL e-list has been resolved. In the case of Anne (City of Sydney) and Kristin (Sutherland) having problems emailing link to the attendance form and the meeting minutes, it was discovered that their email addresses had dropped off the e-list. If you are having problems sending emails to ill@libraries.nsw.gov.au then you can re-subscribe at: https://lists.libraries.nsw.gov.au/postorius/lists/ill.libraries.nsw.gov.au/

Unordered List Item ILL email requests appearing in Google – resolved. Emailed requests which were being sent via [Hard2find] are no longer appearing in Google searches. The e-list archives have been made private so when you undertake the same search, you will see the e-list site but not have access any of the content.

Unordered List Item LADD issues – resolved. Fujing (Ku-ring-gai) contacted LADD regarding the incorrect charge of $16.50 (instead of $28.50) appearing from the University of Sydney in LADD’s bimonthly report. Fujing also contacted the University but everything looked fine from their end. The next bimonthly report will indicate whether the issue has been corrected but it appears that it has been resolved.

6. State Library of NSW report

Unordered List Item Quarantining of returned items. In response to Cameron Morley’s email regarding isolating returned items, all libraries have now moved to not quarantining as per information sent from the State Library. This has come into effect over the past week or so as various councils have had to give approval to proceed with this new procedure.

Unordered List Item Incorrect email address listed in the ILRS. Fujing (Ku-ring-gai) emailed SLNSW regarding the borrowing of an item to which she received no response; it turns out that the email listed in the ILRS was incorrect. Please use: dds@sl.nsw.gov.au

Unordered List Item The ILL role at the SLNSW. This role is performed by several people, some are working onsite and others from home. Please bear this in mind with any delays in response to emails/requests as there isn’t a single person dedicated to ILLs all day, every day. Due to staff shortages and rosters, staff respond to ILL requests in the morning but in the afternoon the phones are checked only twice.
