EDUCATION DOCUMENTS ANNOUNCED IN RESOURCES IN EDUCATION

Education documents announced in RESOURCES IN EDUCATION (RIE) , ED 1.310/2:,

item number 466 -A-03, were established on survey 82-16. Only those publications printed by the National Institution of Education or otherwise

federally funded will be distributed to the depository libraries. THUS YOU

WILL NOT RECEIVE ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS ANNOUNCED IN RIE. Under Title 44,

section 1903, GPO is only authorized to distribute Government publications.

We apologize for any misunderstanding the survey annotation created among

the depository librarians. **************************************** ********************************** MONTHLY CATALOG

The April through June issues of the MONTHLY CATALOG appeared without the

customary "New Classification Numbers," "Discontinued Series," and

"Corrections for Previous Monthly Catalogs" sections. This was the result

of the sudden hospitalization of a key member of the editorial staff who

is responsible for compiling the information. The alternate person was involved in preparation of the preliminary pages for the 1981 Annual

Cumulative Index and Serials Supplement. The decision was made to continue

pressing to improve MONTHLY CATALOG delivery rather than create further

delays by having to instruct other employees in the activity. The sections

began reappearing in their usual locations in the preliminary pages of

the July catalog. To bring you up to date, all information that had been

received during the interim will be printed in the July and August catalogs.

We regret any inconvenience this may have caused MONTHLY CATALOG users. ****************************************************************************

"SHORTS"

Publications which appear in the MONTHLY CATALOG with the designation

"short" in parenthesis following the item number were not available in

sufficient quantity to make complete distribution in paper format to I depository libraries. The shortage of copies was made up by distributing

the document in microfiche format to some depositories.
