Subject:      collection development tools and vertical file

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Colleagues:

Seeing that reference departments are often responsible for a library's
vertical file, I am posting this question.

I am wondering what tools college librarians have found helpful in
collection materials for their vertical file.  I am going through *The
Vertical File and its Alternatives*, 1992, by Clara L. Sitter, and she
mentions tools such as *Vertical File Index*, *Information America*, *Ex-
ceptional Free Library Resource Materials* by Carol Smallwood, etc.

What has worked in undergraduate college libraries, what has not, how
have you gone about collecting the items (who checks the sources for
ideas, sends out the requisition slips to providers, etc.)?  Have you
been able to implement student assistance in such a project in a success-
ful way?

Thanks for your help.  I will summarize for the list if you reply to me.

One week from tonight, on January 15th, the Project Gutenberg Etext of
the Northwestnet User Services Internet Resource Guide is scheduled to
be removed from Project Gutenberg fileservers.

If you have a copy of the Plain Vanilla ASCII file on a public server,
please remove it at that time and replace it with the .ps (PostScript)
edition.  We hope to have a new and approved Plain Vanilla ASCII etext
prepared shortly.

Our apologies both to our users for not having been able to prepare an
appropriate Plain Vanilla ASCII edition, and also to NUSIRG.

Subject:      indepth ref service changes

The University of Arizona Library is undergoing organizational restructuring.
One component of this restructuring is redesign of reference services.  Under
the rubric of mediated services there will be three levels --type 1: info
desks, type 2: traditional reference desks, and type 3: which includes
reference by appointment for subject and time intensive queries, mediated
online searches, and general consultation.

As we begin our design implementation phase WE WOULD APPRECIATE RECEIVING
INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES with set on-call hours for reference, office
hours, reference by appointment, handing out business cards for patron call-
back, what problems (both routine and novel) you encountered, how many hours
per week a "typical" librarian spends in delivery of "type 3" services,
whether classified staff do any type of reference by appointment, and whether
you have other successful strategies for delivery of "type 3" services. Please
give overall impressions (is your staff spending more time on this type of
transaction than in the past?) as well as hard cold quantified data/stats.

Thank you!

We have a microform reader from Canon, model PC Printer 80, that
uses very expensive (approx. $150) 10-P-01 toner cartridges.

Does anyone know of a service that refills these cartridges or
a vendor that carries a cartridge that would be a less expensive
generic alternative?  We'd like to keep our copying prices at
their current level, but this machine has turned out to have a
much higher per-copy cost than our other microform copiers.

I have seen several postings that the best reason for compression is the
ability to get many files at a time via ftp.

1.  One person wanted to be able to get whole directories.

Answer:  type "prompt' to toggle prompting
         type "mget*" to get all files in the directory

2.  Another person wanted to be able to get .exe, .doc, .source files in
    one command.

Answer:  type "prompt" to toggle prompting
         type "mget zoo214*" to get all the zoo214 files, .exe, .doc....

Subject:      Help needed for citation in *Classical Quarterly*

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
If any of you would consider giving this a try, I would appreciate it.  I have
a faculty member who needs the year of publication for the following citation:

        Brunt, P.A.  "Euboea in the Time of Philip II" (Vol?) 63-64, p246 of
                *Classical Quarterly*

The staff at Enoch Pratt told me that in the early 1950's this journal began
a second series with new volume numbers, with neither series apparently having
a vol. 63-64, so this information as given to me by the professor could be in
error.  The *Humanities Index*, which covers this journal, is not held by our
Law Library, so I searched it via the Internet (Washington & Lee guest site)
with no success, covering back to 1982.  The staff at our University's general
library (Langsdale) have also tried without success.
        I have tried searching the online versions of *Social Sciences Citation
Index*, and *Historical Abstracts* on Westlaw, also without success.
        Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

                                                Sincerely,

        Do you happen to know, or do you know how I could find out, what the
rate would be for journalists in news organizations in Eastern Europe or
Russia to subscribe to Internet?
        I assume that since commercial organizations can get Internet e-mail
in the US that there is no problem in Eastern Europe and Russia.
        I am looking for basic e-mail rates for UUCP, not for setting up
a full mainframe node. Ideally, journalists would simply dial up a mainframe
in a major city and check their e-mail accounts there.

********************
Amnesty International Alarmed by Mr. Nguyen Si Binh's grave health
********************

The London-based humanitarian organization has recently urged government
officials of the world to intervene in the case of Mr. Nguyen Si Binh,
who was arrested by the Hanoi government on charge of "reactionary"
behavior since April of this year, whose health is deteriorating in prison.

"Amnesty is greatly concerned with the health of Mr. Nguyen Si Binh, 37,
a nuclear engineer and businessman who has been arrested by Hanoi on
April 25, 1992 on charge of subversion. He might be being held at the
Interior Ministry in Ho Chi Minh City," the report said.

According to Amnesty International, Mr. Binh has heart trouble and
needs special medication and care. He was hospitalized in 1989 for
a heart attack and underwent coronary bypass surgery.

A Vietnamese-American businessman, he went back to Vietnam to
investigate the market for an American corporation. He was arrested
together with 16 others, including his sister and her husband. He is a
member of the "Vietnamese People For Action" party.

Mrs. Binh, now living in Georgia - USA, has been actively campaigning
for her husband's release. Mrs. Binh, in tears when appealed on behalf of
her husband and other political prisoners at a rally organized by the
National United Front for the Liberation of Vietnam on September 10-12,
1992 in front of the United Nations, also warned of Mr. Binh's health
problem.

Amnesty International called for government officials of the world to urge
Vietnam's Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet and Interior Minister Bui Thien Ngo
to allow Mr. Binh needed medicine and family visits; knowledge of his
health status is also requested.

Subject: Bangkok Post Dec 30: PULO bombing dismissed

ARMY Commander-in-Chief Vimol Wongwanich and Police
Director-General Sawasdi Amornvivat both discounted the idea
yesterday that last week's bomb blast at a bus terminal was the
work of PULO terrorists.

Gen Vimol said the blast which left five dead was more likely to
be the result of a conflict of interests than politically related.

He said no soldiers were involved in the bombing as none of his
subordinates would ever do such a thing.

Pol Gen Sawasdi said he did not think the Pattani United
Liberation Organisation (PULO) was behind the attack but this was
a possibility which had still not been ruled out.

A letter written in the Yawi language used by PULO was found on
the bus, but that might have only been a "ruse" to distract
police, he said.

Police have found that there was a certain conflict of interest
which led to the blast, he said without giving any details.

Also under investigation is a watch vendor who may have sought
revenge after officials at the Talad Plu bus terminal failed to
take action when he reported he had lost a bag containing watches
worth several hundred thousand baht on one of the buses a week
earlier.

Deputy Interior Minister Suthas Ngernmuen said the blast was not
"an ordinary event" and "a psycho may have done it merely to cause
a sensation".

He said the Police Department must come up with answers for
Interior Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh and the people on who was
responsible for the blast, why they have not been found and
arrested, and how such terrorist acts can take place so often.

Police sources said police were also looking into whether a group
of seven people, including some women, were responsible for the
blast.

The group is suspected of planning the bombing at a hotel at Siyak
Bankaek not far from Talad Plu.

Meanwhile, Gen Chavalit said the police would uncover who bombed
the bus terminal "in a day or two" as they already had enough
information.

The Interior Minister said a certain group might possibly be
responsible for all three bombings in Bangkok in recent months.

He said it only took two people to carry out the terrorist acts
and did not reflect a worsening of the political situation.
