   1. Minutes from last meeting approved.
4. Request from Carey Hartman, Laramie County Library System to add 3 new location codes (First Floor, Second Floor, Third Floor).
   1. Carey was not able to attend meeting, Laura Block spoke on behalf of Laramie County Library. Laramie County Library system is building a new 3 level facility and having the location codes of First Floor, Second Floor, and Third Floor will make locating items easier for their patrons. Des noted we have precedent with the Basement location and the additional location codes may be useful for other libraries as well. Committee voted – request granted. Des will work with Carey on exact wording and will implement location codes.
5. Journal Linker & Serial Solutions
   1. Des discussed Journal linker and Serial Solutions. As of current these links have been loaded on the Taz server for the academic libraries. Beth suggests sending out a survey in the fall to poll libraries. In the meantime Des will add this service to any library that requests it, as some libraries have already shown an interest. Libraries will have the choice to opt out, show 1, 2 or 3 of the links. Beth asked the committee for discussion on whether they felt the service was useful. Carol had concerns that placing journal articles on same page as WYLDCat may cause some confusion, Stephen felt it was good to have serials linked in but may cause patron confusion. The committee felt that the service is useful but that the language is confusing.
