Skittles is Awesome

Skittles is awesome, she organized the PS:One books. I feel no doubt she will be able to put supplies to good use. --Hef (talk) 12:49, 12 March 2014 (CDT)

Electronic logging/ISBN tags

Might it make more sense to get a scanner that reads ISBNs so we can have an electronic database and tracking? Or is that part of the scope of what Skittles is planning? (Or, if the collection is small enough, maybe leaving it old-school is more efficient than trying to make an electronic solution.) --A. Catherine Noon

Databases

When I was in grad school, our library had access to a number of online databases (the usual stuff like Lexis/Nexis but also science-specific/special interest ones). Does it make sense to have a discussion about purchasing membership in some databases of interest/use to the membership for use by the membership collectively? I would imagine there are engineering and other such databases that members might get use from.

Scope of Collection

Do we want to include the Area-specific books in the library catalog/checkout system?--A. Catherine Noon
