5. Discussion

a. Uses for potential 2025 SCLS Foundation funds

i. New kit requests (book repair kit)

b. SCLS Kit Team update - Sneak peek: Updated Program Equipment page draft

i. Is the new format intuitive enough (especially for new library staff)?

ii. Does the new format provide the right amount of information (not too much, not too little)?

iii. Changes/additions/reordering for the "Type of equipment" categories?

iv. Some new kits are being added to the list (items that were elsewhere on the website for some time, but haven’t been listed as part of this group before). What “type of equipment” best describes these kits?

1. RFID tagging kit

2. Barcode scanner kit

3. Slide projector kit

v. Do the "Mobile" kits need to have mobile in the name? All the kits are “mobile” in the sense of moving from library to library; however the intent is to show that these items are portable (intended to move around in the stacks). Is that clear?

vi. Should loan periods be listed in weeks or days? E.g. “2 weeks” vs “14 days”

c. Library visits

6. Items from clusters for initial discussion

7. Plan for Next meeting:  October 8, 2024
