Our department is split across multiple locations, and as a result we are constantly shipping collection materials back and forth. We have been using single use plastics (zip ties) to secure the totes the materials travel in, but are now investigating using
a metal cable/padlock system to eliminate the need for zip ties.</div>

Another area I'd like to improve is we seem to print out our catalog records at multiple stages across the acquisition and cataloging workflow, and in some cases I'm not sure why. I recycle and reuse as much of the paper as I can, but it would be nice to eliminate
the need for some of the print outs in the first place. <br>

Kudos for brainstorming about this!</div>

</span></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif">Here at the APS, we're trying to do what we can to eliminate waste and to be more aware of our affect on the environment. I'm representing the cataloguing department and have been tasked with this question: "Please think specifically
about your department and identify areas of improvement, small or big. Bring these ideas to our next meeting."</font></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif">Other than making sure we recycle, I can't think of anything the cataloguing department can do. We use Co-libri wrappings on some of our books, which is a petroleum product, but I don't know of any viable alternatives. What
would you all do, if posed with this question? Alternatively, have there been any actions in your institutions that you can share?</font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif"><br>
