DISCUSSION OF POLICY DRAFT REGARDING COMPUTER-USE-ONLY LIBRARY CARDS

 

Assistant Director Getty distributed a draft of a policy regarding computer-use-only library cards.  Committee members decided that it should be included as a section in the existing library card policy and that the language should parallel existing language.  Suggestions for rewording the new section were discussed.  It was determined that the new section would be inserted into the policy as section 2-1.7 with that existing section being renumbered to 2-1.8 and subsequent existing sections being renumbered in sequence from there.  The title of the section will be:  Temporary Computer-Use-Only Library Cards.

 

Assistant Director Getty will do a second draft of the proposed policy for the Committee to review.
