Quoting "Katherine R. Morgan" <norcat at norway.lib.me.us>:

> Hello Catalogers,
>
>    This is a reminder that you have a week left to give the
> Cataloging Standards Committee feedback on changing "in tech service"
> or "in repair" or both to nonrequestable. At this time both status
> codes are requestable. There are two more items that the committee
> needs comments about. I have listed all three below. Please remember
> to reply to the list when e-mailing your comments.
>
> Thank-you for your input, as this is to make cataloging and the OPAC
> better for everyone using Minerva.

> 1.        Change the item record status "e" ("In Tech Serv"), or ?r? 
> (In repair), or
> both to a  nonrequestable status. This would prevent the requesting of items
>      that have various problems that prevent them from circulating.
>      Currently, the other item statuses that are nonrequestable are q- owns
>      (only Maine InfoNet staff can use this), $ - paid, z ?claims returned,
>      m ? missing, l-lost, s- on search, n- billed, w- withdraw shelf, k ?
>      online, and o ? library use only.
>
>      2. Change the existing bibliographical material type "d" from "ms
>      music" to "Blu-Ray". Ms music is a material type that is not being
>      used in the Minerva catalog. Blu-Ray discs are growing in popularity,
>      and it is felt that a dedicated material type will help to distinguish
>      them from DVDs and VHS tapes.
>
>      3. Add a new material type for "equipment". We have noticed a
>      growing number of items being added to the catalog, such as MP3
>      players, headphones, remote controls, etc., and believe that there
>      should be a material type for this general category of items.
>
>      Please post any comments to the MinervaCats listserv by Friday,
>      February 27, 2009.
