----------------------------Original message----------------------------

	Since I complained (frequently) about the lack of an Index for
DISPATCH I feel obliged to say, the 1990 Index has finally arrived,
and it's pretty good.  I couldn't find any gaps, and the detail was
surprising (under Persian Gulf Area, they list a speech Bush made in
Argentina... I had to read the speech twice to find his mention of
the Gulf).  One comment: they never use GIST as part of the title, but they
sometimes use other headings like Fact SHeet and Country Profiles.  You
can't look up any of these as a category in the index, however.
Another feature that might have been useful would be mentioning photos,
charts and maps in the Index.
	But I'm basically being picky about a very nice index.  Now,
how about 1991?

Count me as one of those who've tried including others in selection of
government documents.

Occidental is a USGPO and California State depository, and we purchase on
a blanket order parts of the UN profile.  In the last year there have been
a couple of item selection lists which I've routed to the subject selectors
(which means all librarians here).  This had mixed results--the list got
parked on someone's desk, and we just squeaked in before the selection
deadline.

More successful has been to route the annual bibliography issue of
Gov. Pub. Review.  I tell the selectors that they can choose what they
want, with the following conditions:

        1-USGPO, California and UN materials will be claimed/ordered
         and located in the Documents Division.  If any materials for
         these three collections need to be purchased, the Docs.
         Division will use one of its book funds.

        2-documents of any other agency or organisation will require
         purchase on a firm-order fund (i.e., they must designate one
         of their funds), and will be located in the general stacks,
         Reference, or some other non-Docs collection (yes, some of you
         may cringe at that, but that's how we do it here in Eagle Rock).

In the coming months we may need to do a thorough review of our USGPO
and California selection profiles, because of some nasty budget cuts
and possible staff changes (read about us in the latest issue of Time
magazine).

Cheers!

Subject: Item selections

     "Collective" item selection isn't very practical, in my
experience.  You usually need advice for only a few marginal
items, and then you may encounter the "Since it's free, we
might as well get it" syndrome.  Plus, you have to explain to
bewildered colleagues that you don't know if GPO will actually
distribute any item selected or that GPO has added several
undesirable series to the item of the series they want, etc.
For situations where I'm uncertain or there are differences
of opinion, I developed an evaluation form that requires a
rating of the item's value for curriculum and research and
identification of the courses and faculty research that
require that item.
     The documents librarian has the last word, because you
are responsible for meeting the requirements of the depository
law, Instructions, and Guidelines.  (Speaking of which, how
does a depository justify selecting the Federal Register to
be routed to an administrative office?)

Soon after I became Documents Librarian I tried routing the surveys for new
publications to other members of our library faculty.  I don't believe I
received a single request or suggestion (perhaps it was the nature of the
material being surveyed at the time)...I have not tried to survey our
faculty for areas of possible expertise since the Document subject classi-
fication hasn't been easy to equate with other subject areas used in the
rest of the library  (we once tried a survey of the collection by general
subject areas...not too successfully).  Each of us is a liaison with one
or more...mostly MORE...academic departments for collection development,
bibliographic instruction, etc.  I do receive suggestions from time to
time (mostly in the form of reference questions that could have been
answered more quickly if we only took X publication) and try to respond.
One faculty member had enough questions about the State Department for
me to personally review our selections and make adjustments (it helped
that he stopped by the Library when I was working on the annual selection
update...otherwise I would have kept his requests on file until the time
for adding them came around.  My favorite story (which shows how simple thing
things USED to be) concerns the time I discovered an administrator on campus
was paying for a subscription to the Federal Register...I called and suggest-
ed we add it to our depository selections instead and route it to that
administrative office.  I wrote a LETTER to the GPO and within two weeks
our first issue arrived!  I hope that anyone with selection ideas will
post them to Govdoc-L...I would benefit from some wisdom her.

Friends,

Since some of you have inquired about the fate of lists sent in for
Needs & Offers, I offer the following information.

As I became editor of the list the previous editor, Bev Norton,
sent me her useful and carefully tended files.  Included is a
file at least twelve inches THICK of material sent in to GPO
for reproduction which has not yet been distributed.  GPO
does this as they have the time and inclination.  Knowing that there
is a backlog at GPO may help explain the delays.  The Republic
will not fail because of this, but I hope they have hip boots at GPO.

If you are still anxious, don't be!  Bev also kept a file sorted by
contributing library telling which lists contain submissions from
each library.  Feel free to contact me to see if your list was ever
received by the editors, as it is easy to give you a quick answer --
as far as that answer goes.

As much as I would like to see these myself, I sincerely hope they
don't plan to pass these out to us in person at Washington this
week.  See you there.

Subject:      claims

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
for those who did not make the federal depository conference
or the claims discussion group, here's a few highlights of
what i found interesting (and/or shocking):
  1.  claims have not been filled since january. due to
      a shortage of personnel (one claims person from
      july to december), there is a backlog of *33,000*
      claims.  personnel has been added, but they will
       process the most recent first.
   2.  the reason you have packages of microfiche waiting
       for shipping lists is that the gpo does not send
       them until the distributor notifies them that the
       last package has been mailed.
   3.  the microfiche backlog is targeted to be completed
       by years end.
   4.  due to the concentration of effort on the microfiche
       backlog, there is a paper backlog of *2,200* titles.
       this will be dealt with 'soon'.

 there is probably more, but i didn't want to overload....

******************************************************************************

          UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARY RESIDENCY PROGRAM


The University of California is pleased to announce its Library Residency
Program.  This program is one aspect of the University's commitment to
diversity and is designed to assist members of underrepresented groups to gain
entry into academic librarianship. It provides two-year residencies for two
recent library school graduates, one at a northern campus of the University
and one at a southern campus.  Candidates will have an opportunity to work in
public or technical services, collection development, or automation, depending
on their qualifications and interests.

Each resident will be provided a variety of opportunities for professional
enrichment, including a mentor for the two-year program; membership in the
Librarians Association of the University of California; and support for
professional development.  The University's libraries on the nine campuses,
with 24 million volumes and 350,000 serials subscriptions, form the largest
academic library system in the world.

Qualifications:  Recent MLS from an ALA-accredited program.  Salary:  $28,668
(temporary, two-year appointment at the Assistant Librarian level) plus
benefits.  The positions are represented by the University Federation of
Librarians, AFT.

Application for one or more of the programs listed above may be made by
sending a letter of application, resume, and a list of three professional
references to:  Jacqueline Hanson, Assistant University Librarian, Central
University Library, C-075-H, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla,
CA 92093.  The residencies will be available September 1, 1992.  Applications
received by June 1, 1992 will receive first consideration.  For further
information, call Jacqueline Hanson (619) 534-3064.

A member of our department has just notified me that she hasn't
received an answer to a Depository Library Inquiry Form in the last
two years.  She has sent in eight or so, and was just about to
send another but wonders if perhaps the program has been discontinued?
Or are we using the wrong forms?  The wrong address?  We are using form
3794 and mailing them to the GPO.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated - at this point, filling
out an inquiry form seems futile.
