Statistics
Victoria reported on binding statistics for this fiscal year, through March, 2001.  Only 50% of the binding budget has been spent to date.  Victoria asked about any binding projects that might need to be done and suggested that all libraries give binding a priority between now and the end of June.  Victoria also reported that statistics are now available online at http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/preserve/binding/stats/index.htm.

OPS
Funding requests for FY2001/02 were asked for and applications given out.

Discontinuation of Buckram Colors
Five buckram colors have been discontinued.  As the bindery depletes its inventory of these colors, they will automatically convert to the closest color match.
Brown #815 to #860
Tan #775 to #798
Orange #240 to #290
Blue #714 to #588

Title IDs with Errors in LARS
An error in overlapping slot numbers on our binding tickets has been a problem on some of our past jobs.  Victoria urged everyone to use a higher starting slot for the title group when this happens, as saving a Title ID with errors will cause errors when closing and sending the job to the bindery. No jobs can be closed/sent with errors.  Victoria distributed a hand-out outlining the problem, the error screens, and ways of correcting the error(s).

News from Preservation
Kendra and the Library West periodicals binding will be moving back to Preservation.

Victoria will be out of the office from May 14-June 4.  If you have any problems or questions during this time, please email Cathy Mook, with a cc to Victoria.

Victoria will be attending ALA from June 14-18.  If you have any problems during this time, please email Victoria.

Respectfully Submitted,
Rod Uecker
