COUNCIL MEETING REMINDER

Make your reservation soon for the Fall meeting of the Depository

Library Council to the Public Printer. We want to see as many librarians

as possible in Seattle, WA, September 15-17, 1983. Remember also to take

part in our informal get-together on the evening before the meeting, in

the lobby of the Park Hilton Hotel, Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.

The Park Hilton Hotel is located at 6th and Seneca Streets, Seattle, WA

98101. They are providing us a special rate: Single or Double: $50 +

tax. (A few people registered before the special rate was provided;

they should bring this to the attention of the registration desk which

will make the adjustment.)

The Hotel telephone number is (206) 464-1980. Two toll-free numbers

are also available for reservations: outside the State of Washington use

1-800-426-0535; in Washington, use 1-800-542-7700. If attendees have

any problems or special needs, ask for the reservation manager, Marc DuVal.

In August 1983, GPO began distributing weekly sets of the GPO Sales Publications Reference File (PRF) to Regional Depository Libraries and to these

other libraries in states and territories that are not served by Regionals:

CANAL ZONE: Balboa Heights. Panama Canal Commission. 1004

DELAWARE: Newark. University of Delaware Library. 0087

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA: Washington, D.C. District of Columbia Public

WEEKLY PRF FICHE TO REGIONALS

1
While recipients of the weekly PRF sets will continue to receive the

bimonthly PRF fiche as well as the "GPO New Sales Publications

(PRF-f iche) ," they are required to retain only the latest PRF edition.

Also, these recipients may notice that the weekly PRF sets are about

2 weeks old according to the header date. This is because the weekly

sets are being recycled to depositories after they have been used

for 1 week within GPO.

We hope that the more timely PRF will be a convenience to these

libraries, and their users.

STATE PLANS AND MAPS

Those librarians now working to produce State Plans for Government

Documents are encouraged to give careful thought to the place of maps

in a State Plan. One of the best approaches to the problem involves

enlisting some map librarians into your planning group. If we hear of

a particularly good approach to maps, we will pass it along to the

Editor of Public Documents Highlights to share with you. ************************************************************************
