NOAA REORGANIZATION

A reorganization within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

became effective Nov. 29, 1982. The Environmental Data and Information Service

(C 55.200:) combined with the National Earth Satellite Service (C 55.500:)

to form the National Earth Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS)

.

In addition, the name of the National Climatic Center changed to National

Climatic Data Center.

In order to minimize work and confusion the C 55.200: classification will

be retained for NESDIS. Publications which were formerly issued by the

National Earth Satellite Service will be incorporated into this class. There

are no serials or periodicals currently listed in the C 55.500: class so no reclassification will be necessary.

RETROSPECTIVE CATALOGING

The Library Division will begin retrospective processing of International Joint

Commission Publications and of publications that Library Division, Library Programs

Service, received from the Colorado State University Libraries.

Depository Librarians had notified the International Joint Commission that the

Government Printing Office was not distributing the Commission's publications

in the depository library program. The Commission then sent the Library Division

approximately 150 titles which have now received a Superintendent of Documents

classification number.

Colorado State University Libraries were awarded a Title II-C grant from the

U.S. Department of Education to catalog U.S. Government publications. The U.S.

Government publications became part of Colorado State's library collection, but were never processed by the Government Printing Office.

Under the Title II-C grant approximately 15,000 volumes were cataloged under

AACR I cataloging rules using full MARC bibliographical records. The library

assigned a local SuDocs classification number to each item, and all cataloging

records were input into OCLC.

By previous agreement with the Government Printing Office, Colorado State

shipped GPO duplicate documents and photocopied title pages on each cataloged

document. The Library Division began classifying and cataloging these materials

on February 24, 1983. Only the International Joint Commission and the Colorado

State publications that can be converted to microfiche will be surveyed for

distribution to depository libraries. All publications will be classified and

cataloged.

*****************************************************************

MICROFICHE CLAIMS

The Depository Administration Branch orders 15 "claim" microfiche sets for

each title distributed to depository libraries. If more than 15 "claim" copies

are needed, the silver microfiche is returned to the contractor for duplication.

Microfiche duplication is a 6 to 8 week process.

Depository Libraries have been sending duplicate, follow-up copies of claim

forms to GPO, rather than waiting the requisite 6 to 8 weeks after the initial

claim. To alleviate this problem of duplication, GPO will begin confirming

receipt of claim forms when there will be a delay in claim fulfillment; GPO

will return to the requesting library a copy of their claim form stamped with

this notice:

This claim is being processed by GPO.

Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery.

O.M.B. - "Report on Eliminations, Consolidations, and Cost

Reductions of Government Publications"

The Library Programs Service received a copy of CMB's list of 2,000 titles

to be consolidated or terminated. There are two titles involved 1 -"Report on

Eliminations, Consolidations, and Cost Reductions of Government Publications"

which is classed PrEx 2.2: G74, and 2-"Pamphlet and Recurring Periodic Study

and Complete Data List" which is classed PrEx 2.14: P19. The one title falls

under bibliographies and lists of publications "item number" 854-E, SuDoc number

PrEx 2.14:, and is currently in the process of being surveyed. Since L.P.S.

feels that both titles should be distributed before the survey can be completed,

the depository libraries will receive both titles under the general publication

"item number" 854 sometime in April. This is the same "item number" that is

assigned to the title "Report on Eliminations, Consolidations, and Cost Reductions

of Government Publications". ***************************************************************

SPECIAL NOTICE

"SEPARATE SHIPMENT" SHIPPING LISTS

This special notice concerns shipping lists 17,839-S and 17,859-S, "separate

shipments" dated March 14 and March 22, 1983.

During the past six months there has been a dramatic increase in the number of

claims for non-receipt of "separate shipment" shipping lists, prompting Management

of the Library Programs Service to conduct a study on ways to reduce the number

of claims that fall in this category.

After considering several possible solutions to this problem we decided to compile

and produce a weekly list of titles mailed as separate packages.

The first weekly list received for titles mailed as separate packages was shipping

list 17,839-S, covering the week March 7-11, 1983. It was mailed on March 14, 1983.

The second was shipping list 17,859 covering the week March 14-18, 1983. It was mailed on March 22, 1983. Similar weekly shipping lists will follow.

Please hold claims for non-receipt of "separate shipments" for a reasonable period

of time before submitting them, as it will take several days to complete the mailing

of all the titles that appear on these lists. ************************************************************************************

"BE A FRIEND" LIST CORRECTION

In the "Be a Friend" list recently sent to depository libraries, one Kansas address

was incorrectly entered. It should be:

KANSAS Bob Walter Axe Library (316) 231-7000 ext 431

Pittsburg State University

Pittsburg, KS 66762

PLEASE NOTE: We will try to keep the "Be a Friend" list up-to-date. In the event

of changes of persons, addresses, or phone number, please drop a note to:
