June 2005 Report to Summit Borrowing Committee
Powerpoint presentation: Loaning more than books
List of all materials circulating through Summit Borrowing

The Council adopted the following motion at the October 2005 meeting:

"Kelley moved that Council members make a commitment to talk with their staff about expanding the materials available for lending via Summit Borrowing."

Since that meeting, several members have started loaning more via Summit. The following information is the latest available (April 2008)

New reports! Report: non-book materials loaned by members. Table showing types of non-book materials loaned by members. The numbers represent the number of IType codes mapped for "circulating." This is grouped in "generic" types so that all sound recordings are grouped together, all film/video formats are together, etc. Note that almost all members are loaning some sort of film/video material, and about half are loaning some music or spoken word sound recordings.
