CATALOGING Ob' CENSUS BLOCK STATISTICS

The delay in receiving the microfiche Block Statistic maps poses a problem for

GPO, because the most appropriate means of cataloging the maps is on the same

bibliographic record as the report. Rather than delay the cataloging, wo have

decided to proceed with cataloging both the report and maps as the repoi'ts are received in the Classification and Cataloging branch. The maps will be

treated as accompanying material to the report. The sales information will

reflect the format in which each is available from the Superintendent of

Documents. The item number will represent both the report and maps, even

though the maps have not yet been distributed. The first records will appear

in the August Monthly Catalog. A sample entry may be found under OCLC

#8546391. ************************ A ***** *********************************** **************

NON- RECEIPTS

From time to time L.S.D.S. will not receive an issue of a publication

planned for distribution to depositories in a paper format. When this occurs,

distribution of the item will be made in a microfiche format. The following

notice will be placed on the microfiche shipping list and the affected

classification number tagged with an appropriate footnote reference mark.

"We have made every effort to obtain this publication for you in

a paper format. Since we have been unable to obtain the needed

copies, this publication is being distributed to all selecting

libraries in microfiche. Every effort Ls being made to ensure

that future issues are distributed in a paper format. We apologize

for any inconvenience this may cause you."
