BUYERS' S BEWARE

The Government Printing Office distributes approximately 13 million

microfiche each year through the Depository Library Program. We

have distributed several microfiche titles in envelopes that may be

too large for some microfiche storage cabinets. When left in these

envelopes and stored, it can cause a "curl" effect on the microfiche.

If librarians have fichc with a curl problem, we suggest you place

them in the propei size storage cabinet and compress them in the

drawer tightly for a few days. This should remove the curl.

It is our recommendation that when you purchase a microfiche storage

cabinet, make sure that the inside drawer dimensions arc at least

6 V x 4 tall.

Librarians having trouble locating the proper size microfiche cabinets,

should contact Duke Spencc, Chief, Micrographics Section, (703)

557-1100, for more information. **************************************************

BOUND UNITED STATES CONGRESSIONAL SERIAL SET FOR 96TH CONGRESS IN MICROFICHE

The United States • Congressional Serial Set was surveyed for microfiche of the

96th Congress on December 7, 1979, Shipping List #13540. Unfortunately, the

results of the survey were not received at GEO for processing until after the

start of the 2d Session of the 96th Congress. Consequently, many libraries

now have gaps in their microfiche collections of this material. Because of

the discrepancy, we arc making a special offer to those libraries with an incomplete microfiche Congressional Serial Set for the 96th Congress.

The bound Congress -ona! Serial Set will be offered in microfiche format to

any library with an incomplete collection for the 96th Congress. This set

is numbered 13220 through 13384 and will contain approximately 2,080 fiche

requiring 2.5 linear feet of storage space.

If you need to complete your U.S. Congressional Serial Set for the 96th

Congress, this is your chance.'

Please fill in the information below and mail no later than June 14th.
