NEW BUSINESS: Mrs. Bergsing announced to the Board that she had received notification from Jane Light
of the Peninsula Library System that State funding will be available in the amount of
$6,000.00 to Burlingame for purchase of the new CRT Terminal. This is for the on-line
cataloging that we are now doing, and in addition to the $6,000.00, they will reimburse
the Library 45� for each title that we catalog. They are trying to build a data-base
in California and this is the reason for the 45Creimbursement. The terminal will be
available for purchase sometime in January or February.
She also reported to the Board that one of the items that had been approved for
payment from the special fund, the "record bin", had arrived. It is inferior in
workmanship, not the right color, and overall not acceptable. She requested permission
from the Board to return it. After discussion, the Board members felt that she should
return it and try to find a better record bin from another supplier or have one made
locally.
Librarian Bergsing distributed a package containing basic, general information on
computerized circulation systems. She said that San Mateo is installing their own
computerized circulation system shorty and that San Mateo County has had their request
approved to do the same. She had not yet heard whether or not a date had been set for
the Board members to meet with Council regarding this, but she will keep them informed.
