GPO HOSTS "LIBRARY PARTNERS" APPRECIATION DAY

In support of the nationwide observance of National Library Week,

April 14-20, the U.S. Government Printing Office is hosting National Library

Week (NLW) Partners Appreciation Day, April 2.

As one of 50 members of the NLW Partners Program, GPO joins other

Federal agencies, educational associations, and private businesses in helping

to publicize the valuable role libraries play in our society. In addition

to the luncheon, the Partners will receive a briefing on GPO operations and

a tour of one of the world's largest printing facilities.

Public Printer of the United States Ralph E. Kennickell, Jr. has

committed GPO to the support of America's libraries because of the agency's

role as administrator of the nationwide Depository Library Program. Through

nearly 1,400 libraries across the country, our citizens have access to the

free use of the thousands of publications produced by our Federal Government

annually.

In announcing GPO's plans for NLW Partners Appreciation Day, Public

Printer Kennickell noted, "It is our honor to host this gathering of individuals

who are committed to the support of one of this Nation's most significant

educational resources - America's libraries." The theme for the 1985

observance of National Library Week is "A Nation of Readers."

SENATE NUMBERING SURVEY

The Library Programs Service is conducting a survey to determine the

wishes of depository libraries regarding the use of the Senate numbering

in the SuDocs class number for Senate hearings, prints, and publications.

GPO's present practice is to use the Senate numbering after the class

stem for the Committee, for example: Y 4. En 2: S.hrg. 98-997

Y 4.F 76/2:S.prt. 98-237

Prior to the 98th Congress, classes for Senate documents were formulated

by using either a Committee number or a Cutter number after the class

stem for the Committee, as follows: Y 4. En 2:97-64

Y 4.F 76/2.-F 76/50

Please indicate below whether you would prefer a continuation of the

present use of Senate numbering in the SuDocs class, or if you would

prefer a return to the use of Committee/Cutter numbering.

Then tear out this sheet, fill in the name and address of your library

in the spaces provided below, fold and seal the form, and mail it to

the address printed on the verso.

Vote for one:

J Continue use of Senate numbering

] Return to use of Committee/Cutter numbering

] Other (explain)
