Any advice on whether or not it is good to keep the now defunct IMF
Balance of Payments Statistics (monthly updates) now that the annual
has arrived...?

It does include some quarterly data, but not sure if this information
is sought after enough to justify the shelf space it occupies.

Any advice?  Please respond through list or dblazek@umiami

Subject:      GOVDOC-L helpful hint of the day

Greetings GOVDOC-Lers:

I've had a suggestion to remind y'all about the importance of signing
the messages you post to the list.

That's a good practice on any e-mail correspondence of course, but makes
a particular difference when you're dealing with a listserver discussion
group like GOVDOC-L.  Often, the messages to the list get munched around in
different computer systems so much that it is very hard to decipher who
they are originally from or that person's address by looking at the header.
And, REPLYs go to the distribution list (i.e., all of us), not just the person
posting the message.  So, if your message isn't signed, it can be very
difficult or impossible for people to track you down.

So, unless you don't want to be tracked down (and if there are any fugitives
from justice out there, I don't want to know about it), include your
name, phone number, and e-mail address in correspondence to GOVDOC-L.

Have a good weekend, everybody.

I know that this probably have been covered many times before,
but I am new, both to the List and to Documents librarianship.

Can I log on to the EBB through Internet? If so, how? And once
there, are there directions for finding information and downloading
programs back to my computer?

Any information you can give me would be appreciated.

We have just discovered a problem with the Aug. NTDB when run thru our
Novell CD Local Area Network on Browse mode.  When searching, you can
select an item, the little check mark appears, but then when you try to
view using F3, nothing happens.  We checked the disk at our standalone
workstation and it worked fine.  We have had no trouble with previouse
disks on the network.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Any
solution?  Fortunately, of course, we have the old disks, and a new one
will be out soon.  I just hope the software hasn't been changed in such
a way as to make network use impossible.  Our students use it so heavily
it just *has* to be on our network.

A professor needs 2 tables from Vital Statistics of the United States
1968, Pt. 2A.  We have tried many places via ILL and all say they do not
own this volume. Neither do we. It is listed in the retrospective (1974)
volume of ASI under #4144-2.  The tables needed are 2-9 and 2-10. We can
send an ILL request if anyone has and would be willing to loan or photo-
copy the 2 tables. I'm beginning to think the only place it may exist is
on ASI fiche??   (SuDoc HE20.2212:968/v.2/pt.A).

Subject:      Demonstrable efforts summary

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

Last Spring I asked the list what federal depository
libraries were doing to comply with GPO's Guideline
4-5, to make "demonstrable efforts to identify the
government information needs of their Congressional
district or local area," especially as far as surveys
were concerned.

Of six responses, three knew of nothing that anyone had
done.

One person reported not having a formalized survey, but he
tries to support the university's curriculum and other
library collections; examines local economic characteristics
and chooses relevant documents; keeps track of patron
requests, and notes areas of the collection that get used
and that don't, in order to select, deselect and weed.

Another documents librarian coordinates legal information
with a county legal materials group, and offers workshops
to area libraries.

The third respondent works with his local Plan District
Commission (political subdivision of the state which
carries out social and economic planning for the region)
to share materials and help each others' patrons.  He also
is on his college's speakers bureau for community talks.

I unearthed a few other efforts from other sources and will be
glad to share them.  Beverly Norton wrote an article in a
1989 Admin Notes about her survey.

Many thanks for your responses.

The phone number included for the National Audio-visual Center, the

Inventory Locator System (GIILS) Volume I and the Federal Locator

Further the article provided no information on the cost of the

Perhaps the author, Joseph Ryan, could rectify these problems for

I am prticularly interested about the availability of the House of Represent-

Classes or Andriot because it's very new, but it was included
in this year's item survey.....the card says it's irregular,
which probably scared off a lot of people who were thinking
of selecting it, since we *know* what that irregular frequency
of publication can mean.....if you have selected it and not
gotten the pub in a depository shipment yet, I have heard that
claims for it are finally being fulfilled...if you haven't
selected it, do so next year; it's a very useful publication, and
I bet it shows up the next time the Core List in the Depository

Subject: electronic EISs: 2 MESSAGES

----------------------------------- 1st message --------------------------------

1.  Yes, there is a high demand for Environmental Impact Statements, etc
   at the U of Idaho.  Courses are taught by many faculty members in various
   disciplines, using EISs as reference sources.  Some of them are required to
   use them for class assignments.  We've tried for the last two decades to
   build up our EIS collection.  Many of them are non-depository items, but
   were given local SuDoc numbers, and fully cataloged in WLN.
2. Yes, we would find it useful to have the abstracts, etc. available
   electronically.  We can very easily use it as an acquisition tool, as well
   as a reference source.

I do have two questions here: Are we talking about only DOE EISs or all EISs,
including those from the Forest Service, Interior, and Corps of Engineers?
And who is going to put this EIS database together?  DOE staff? or individual
DOE Labs, e.g. Hanford, INEL, etc.?  We are expecting to receive a digitized
computer database from INEL (known as West Argonne located in Idaho Falls)
along with a computer station to run the database very soon.  Is this EIS
electronic database going to cover EIS from all the DOE Labs? Are all the other
agencies going to make their EISs available electronically?
I don't know who can answer these questions, so I am posting the message to
the GOVDOC List.

Another of our professors wants a publication from the Human Nutrition
Information Service, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. Apart from his footnote I
can't confirm the existence of this publication. A call to the agency
resulted in the information that I would have to contact the author. Letters
and phone calls to the author have so far found him unreachable. (The
author works at HNIS, but apparently not very often). The Dept. of
Agriculture Library says they do not own. Is there any chance that anyone
out there knows anything about this publication:

Weihrauch, John L.  Provisional Table on the Vitamin K Content of Foods.
(HNIS/PT-104). 1986. (From: A Patient's Guide: Using Coumadin at Home).
