QUARTERLY PRINTOUT DELAYED

Because new computer equipment has been installed and item distribution data is

being loaded at the Library and Statutory Distribution Service, there will be a delay in getting quarterly printouts for item selection changes to depositories.

We do expect to have a printout ready for libraries sometime in April.

OUR FACE WAS PURPLE

By now most depository librarians have an October "Monthly Catalog" whose cover

is printed in purple ink. No, it is not a collector's item. It is just one more example of Murphy's Law in action: "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong!"

We apologize. Somehow incorrect ink specifications were sent to the contractor

.

Rather than delay "Monthly Catalog" in the pursuit of aesthetic perfection, we decided to go ahead and send it. Wc know that documents librarians are among

the special few who fully appreciate a moment when things just go awry. We will

strive to keep our future colors in sync.

MONTHLY CATALOG ONLINE

Librarians often ask about the possibility of obtaining online access to the

Monthly Catalog of Unitvd States Gove rr.mort Publication:-." GPO roes ::Vt n\>-

supply this service. However, a number of commercial vendors purchase the '"'eat

Catalog" on magnetic tape from the Library of Congress' Cataloging Distribution

Service. Two that have come to our attention are Lockheed and BRS. There are

undoubtedly others; and local inquiry should identify a vendor in your area.

error occurred the attached section entitled, "Microfiche Header Corrections."

as stated. If you have ordered, don't worry because Mr. Anthony's firm knows

and will see that you get the correct size label.

gives a complete rundown on the reorganization and the resulting class changes.

Also,. notes have been added to the shipping list whenever the first issue of a periodical is sent under a new class. Please check these sources first; they

should answer many of your questions. We will try to answer all other requests

as quickly as possible.
