Mark/All

• Do we need to put item back on our radar?

• This issue is being escalated. We are waiting on ExL.

• This group may need to decide whether or not to employ a workaround until the functionality exists.

• RLFs are putting a special bookband on these items.

• We might need to talk to the RLFs and see if there is a concern with the items being circulated for 90 days.

• This may require additional testing, some communication indicates that a fix was supposed to be pushed out in May.

Parking Lot

Capture important topics for future discussion

There was a discussion from Phase 4 around Reading Rooms and how that functioned in Alma. One of the campuses (UCR?) might have put in an EXL request around this. This comes into play when there are library use only resource sharing items.
