Discussion: It was determined that more clarification is needed before it can be approved.  Several libraries have a Memorandum of Understanding in place, which allows libraries to use the SCLS network as the Internet Service Provider (ISP).  This allows libraries to connect non-SCLS supported devices on the SCLS network.  SCLS needs to be made aware of any changes and any hardware that is on the network.  A link to the SCLS as ISP policy and Memorandum of Understanding is included in the documents online.  This topic will be discussed at the February meeting.
