To:   govdoc-l@PSUVM.BITNET

I am trying to track down a document requested by one of our patrons. The
title is "The EMU after Maastricht: Major Elements of the Treaty" It is
supposed to be a "short document prepared by the Commission's
Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs." (I'm quoting from
"Euromemo" Jan. 1992) Has anyone run across this? I've checked our usual bib.
sources: European Access, the Bulletin, etc. Any suggestions for other places
to look would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I have no knowledge of voter registration services offered in libraries,
but I was happy to see that someone out there on the net was familiar with
John Prine. That and the fact you quoted a favorite line from a song that

We get hearings on deposit in paper and for most of the committees, we weed
after five years.  Keep in mind that we also get the CIS congressional micro-

weed in areas where there is a research interest: for taxation, we keep
House Ways & Means and Senate Finance Committees. We also keep House and
Senate Judiciary Committees.

Dialog.  Their address is Dialog.Com  (Of course, you will need an account

I have not been able to test Paradox with Census products.  Time limitations

anyone does get to test this, post the results and be prepared for questions.

If I get to do it I'll post to the list, but I can't promise anything before

this fall so I'm not sure that I will have any time left for the fun computer

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Dear Colleagues,

Each year in my annual report I am required to provide an estimate
of the value of the depository publications we have received.  It
is my understanding that this is necessary for insurance reasons.
I have been doing this in a rather haphazard manner by selecting
several titles at random and looking up prices in the PRF, then
calculating and average price per piece.  I then multiply that
average price times the number of pieces we received.

I feel certain that the figures I am coming up with have little
or no validity in terms of the actual monetary value of the documents
we receive.  But, it's the best system I've come up with so far.

Does anyone else have to do an estimate, and if so, can you share
with me the system you use?  Any and all suggestions will be
appreciated.

Please respond to me at SLIB1532@SLU or SLIB1532@SELU.EDU.  If
a good system come to light, I will describe it for the list.

Hi Everyone!

	First, please excuse what may seem to be "easy" questions.  I have 2
somewhat valid excuses - 1) I just "found" this group & 2) I am only asking
these questions for the person in tech services - I'm "Automation Services",
and don't know a whole lot of library terminology (yet- only been here 6 mos).

	Also, is there a Frequently Asked Questions file or other archive for
this group anywhere?

	Anyway, I was asked to find out what other vendors (other than Marcive,
Deck, and OCLC, offer electronic shelflist data / systems for gov docs?  We are
also interested in the quality of the bib records from these and any others you
all might recommend.  We are looking for USMARC-LC or GPO cataloging.

	Hopefully, once we get this all together, we will become a 15%
Depository (shortly).  Oh, does anyone who might have recently automated have
any old card catalogs they are willing to sell - we need a couple and new is
expensive!!!!!

	Please - reply directly to me, at either "cayz@udel.edu" or
"cayz@cis.udel.edu" (internet).  I will summarize any responses, and email to
anyone who asks, or post the summary if I get > 5 summary requests.

	Thank You,
	James Cayz

The first wave of the Project Gutenberg Email Reference Forms have gone

appreciative, as it would avoid much duplication of effort.

The number of requests we have had for such forms is growing, and these
are certainly the times when we could take good advantage of such items
if they were available.

Since I am not a member of this list, I would appreciate direct

I have been given the responsibility for making the gov. cds
usable.  I ran across a couple of public domain programs that might
be of use and would like to know if any one has done anything with them.
.
The first one is dbMenu ver. 4.  Creates a db3+ application menu.
Supposedly very easy to use. (compared with db3 or my Mac?)
.
Second is dProg.  A systems generator that helps with screen design.
.
Last is dInfo professional (shareware or commercial).  A menu driven
dbase manager and report manager.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Subject:      Strange SuDoc numbers

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
This morning I spoke with Ashouk Malhotra at the Government Printing Office
about some strange SuDoc Classifications that my assistant Marion brought to
my attention.  FYI, here is what I found out:

1. If anyone has dividers to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations sitting
   around with a class number of C 61.23:991/divider and you are looking for
   the 1991 main volume to put them in, they belong in the edition published
   February 1992 with a SuDoc of C 61.23:992.  Dividers should be C 61.23:992/
   divider.
   The best we can figure out is that there is no C 61.23:991.  Usually the
   thing is published in October of each year, and the publication year goes
   in the SuDoc number.  Looks like this year they were late, coming out in
   February1992, so we get C 61.23:992.

2. If anyone else has noted that J 1.102: looks exactly like J21.23: it is
   because of a class change.  Mr. Malhotra told me they debated the change.
 These Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO) Cases
   were never from the Immigration and Naturalization Service in the first
   place.
