Discussion Notes for Agenda Items

5. Follow-up on MnPals Interlibrary Forum discussion concerning direct borrowing
6. Please read through the Policies and Procedures Statement on Interlibrary loan by MnPals Libraries found on the Interlibrary loan in the MnPals Forum in preparation for voting on adoption of the policy.
7. Suggested changes to the ILL form
   
   1. There are too not enough asterisks used on the various fields and it is suggested that either have more fields with asterisks or we consider eliminating the asterisk system on the form and encourage people to fill out as many lines as possible.
      
   2. Is the "source" field is necessary? Suggest making it make an optional line with "(source)" in parentheses or change the word so it is clear what "source" means.
      
   Suggestions brought to the user group for discussion and vote by Jennifer DeLonghe of Mertro State.
