2. Business arising.
Neil already invited Baycrest and the other consortium members to attend the
circulation services meeting. Their names have already been added to our mail list.
Posting minutes to the intranet is still in progress
Christmas loan periods have already been put into the Sirsi system
UTL at Downsview: Everything is still on HOLD
"Part-time employees will receive a fifteen (15) minute paid break for every three
(3) consecutive hours worked, except in cases where the employees work a full
day, in which case they shall receive the same lunch and breaks as full-time staff
appointed employees."
As for the law in Ontario, the fact sheet "Hours of Work & Overtime"
(http://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/es/factsheets/fs_hours.html ) says:
If the employee and employer agree, the 30-minute eating period can be taken as
two shorter breaks within a period of five hours. Together the two eating periods
must total at least 30 minutes. Agreements to divide the 30-minute meal break into
two shorter breaks do not have to be in writing.
6. In OPAC hospital library holdings show up in the hitlist display but not Gerstein
holdings
The following was the explanation from Sian Meikle:
“Short Term Loan is not considered an "available" location by SIRSI, and this is why the
Gerstein copy does not display as available on the hitlist. Baycrest, Bloorview, and Mt
Sinai (all the listed "available" locations) have copies in their stacks (STACKS is an
"available" location). So far as I know, it is not yet possible for us to configure which
locations are considered "available" -- the available locations are determined by SIRSI,
and STL is not on the list. The ability to customize the list has been requested of SIRSI
through the SIRS process however, by a number of institutions. I've just sent an email out
to make sure that nothing's changed there since the last time I checked.”
7. Information on the library website
It was noticed that some information on the website is not accurate anymore. However it
is quite a job to keep them current. Lari will try to look through the website and pinpoint
those WebPages.
Next meeting Wednesday, Dec. 21 or Jan. 18, 2:15 pm, Alice Moulton Room, Gerstein
