[Unisfa] UniSFA Committee Meeting Minutes 07/10/16

[Brooke Judson]

Hi Nick,

We have the big gap on our shelves at the moment because we've moved a
bunch of books out of the shelves that were getting dripped on. We've
managed to fit a lot on the shelf the anthologies were on but a bunch is
still in storage til we can fix the leaks unfortunately :/

Not all the books that are damaged have been damaged by the mold, the
Mercedes Lackey book you are looking at may have either been mold or
completely broken (L was actually part of the danger zone so mold is
likely). Yes the list is already in koha which is why you can see the books
marked as damaged, I'll have to check with someone who knows more about
koha than me to find out how to get just the list (I have a list of books
which have been thrown out due to mold as a separate file that committee
can access, and will share if we can't sort out koha showing it).
