Media Task Force
Videorecordings and CD-ROMs are a growing part of
YUL's collections. Policies developed at a time when the Library had few of these
materials may no longer fit current needs. CDC has established a Media Task Force
to review current practices and policies systemwide, investigate how these materials
are handled at other libraries, and establish new policies and arrangements where
needed. Issues for discussion may include but are not limited to:
- circulating CD-ROMs and videos
- closed vs open shelving
- keeping media that accompany books (or vice versa) together
- classification vs accession numbers
- preservation and security provisions
- unification vs localization of policies and practices
- projected growth, and consequent space and equipment needs
- costs to implement recommendations
- implementation sequence
