1. Libraries that charge overdue fines would have to submit a Circulation Rule Change Request form to include a library-specific Circ Rule for their library.

b. Look at existing recommendation that libraries change their ILS passwords when staff leave and discuss making this a policy that libraries have to follow.

c. Request for new Patron Category for Reciprocal Borrowers]: These are patrons that live outside of SCLS Counties that are not eligible to use locally subscribed databases.

d. Topics for 2025 Circulation and Report refresher sessions (Feb-June).

e. QUESTION: Transit Return option on Problem Item form – is this only used if/when the owning library uses the form? Is it ever used when sending an item to the owning library? https://www.scls.info/sites/www.scls.info/files/2023-09_Problem%20item%20Payment%20form%20full%20sheet.pdf

f. Review TV series bookmark: https://help.linkcat.info/sites/help.linkcat.info/files/TVSeries.pdf

i. Do we still need it? If yes, a suggestion is to modify it to make it more about "how to find TV series" (both full sets and individual discs) with a brief note as to why both types appear in the catalog. DIS is also reviewing the need for this bookmark.
