ACID FREE INK

In the February 1982 HIOI1EIQ5TS, we stated that if you are going to write

on microfiche envelopes, you should use either a pencil or acid free ink.

Since that time we have been flooded with many letters asking, "Where do

I find acid free ink?"

On the issue of ink pens, the only one which we have identified as acid

free is the Paper Mate medium point red ink pen.

If you use a stamp pad, then you may want to go to the yellow pages and

look under "Chemists-Analytical f> Consulting," and have them test the

particular brand of ink you are using to be sure it is acid free (Ph

value no less than 7.0).

Should you have questions on microfiche in general, write or call Mr.

Puke Spence, Chief, Micrographics Section, at (703) 557-1100.

PAPER/MICROFICHE DISTRIBUTION

Separate shipping lists for paper items that must be distributed in microfiche format due to the receipt of insufficient copy quantities (see

Administrative Notes, November 1080) will be prepared by the Library

Services Section of the Depository Administration Branch.

A note will be found at the top of each of these shipping lists, and will

read as follows:

We have put forth every effort to obtain enough paper copies of

these publications to make the full distribution in paper, but

have been unsuccessful. Therefore, you may be receiving these

items in microfiche rather than paper. See Administrative Notes,

Vol. 3, No. 6, June 1982. If you find it necessary to file a claim, your request will be filled with microfiche.

In place of "Dual Distribution" or 'Mixed Distribution", the phase "Paper/

Microfiche Distribution" will be used, following each item on the shipping

list. We are working to alleviate the receipt of an inadequate number of

copies for distribution and hope to minimize this problem in the future.
