Vol. 3, No. 8 July 1982

CI ASS NUMBER MIX UP

The publication entitled University/DOE laboratory cooperative program for

professional manpower development , faculty and student research participation, and other assistance was issued twice by the Dept. of Energy. One

edition was issued by the Office of Energy Research, University and

Industry Programs Division as DOE/ER-0043 (OCLC 8045988), and was sent to

depository libraries under class E 1.19:0043, Item 429-N. Another edition

was issued by the Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental and Institutional Relations, Education Programs Division, as DOE/IR-0007 (OCLC 4409090),

and sent to libraries under class E 1.33:0007, Item 429-T-6. This edition

contained a printing error in the alpha portion of the series number,

which appeared as DOE/ER-0007. The second publication was erroneously

assumed to have been intended to be DOE/ER-0043 because of the matching

titles, and a correction notice was prepared based on that assumption.

This problem has been further complicated by the apparent conflict with

the real DOE/ER-0007, entitled Report of the Subpanel on Computing Needs

of the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel to the U.S. Dept. of Energy

(OCLC 4097149), sent to libraries under class E 1.19:0007, Item 429-N.

Care should be exercised in processing these publications and assigning

the appropriate classification number.

AID COUNTRY PROFILE

The AID COUNTRY PROFILES, which appeared in the January, 1982 MONTHLY

CATALOG, were cataloged from Library of Congress loan coDies. The publications have been obtained for inclusion in the Depository Library Program.

A new class, S 18.53: (CT), and item number 900-C-14 were established for

the series and it was surveyed on January 12, 1982, on Survey No. 81-74.

Distribution will begin in approximately six weeks.

JPRS ENTRIES IN THE MONTHLY CATALOG

2

We have received many inquiries concerning JPRS entries in the Monthly

Catalog. These recen-ds serve as a listing of -JPRS series numbers for each

title. Listing the records was a simple procedure until several major

changes brought everything to a halt. First, was the change to AACR2,

which meant revising or making new records for every title. At the same

time, JPRS was changing the titles, in some cases more than once. The

classification numbers also changed from Y 3. J 66:13 to PrEx 7.13:, and

then to individual class numbers. We will begin entering JPRS's into the

Monthly Catalog soon and you will be seeing them in upcoming catalogs. We

are sorry for the delay. ***************************************************

PRE AND DEPOSITORY DISTRIBUTION

We continue to have inquiries as to why publications are listed in the

GPO Sales Publications Reference File (PRE) that have not yet been

distributed to depository libraries. We have always been aware of this

problem and have attempted to prioritize the acquisition and distribution

of sales publications since these are generally the most popular titles.

An Acquisitions Unit presently being established in the Depository

Administration Branch will implement an even more stringent monitoring

system of all new GPO sales publications as they are added to ERE to

ensure that adequate quantities have been ordered and received for the

Depository Library Program. However, there will probably always be

instances when a publication will appear on PRE and is assumed to be

available for sale and distribution, when in fact it is not. Some of the

reasons ttaat lead to this disparity are listed below.

(1) Preliminary records for new sales publications are entered into

PRE at the time agencies submit a notification of intent to

publish to GPO. This occurs weeks or months prior to the actual

printing of the material. Publications only shown in stock

status 3, "In Stock", would have been printed and be available

for depository distribution.

(2) Advance review copies are provided to the media before the

document is published.

(3) Reprints of documents are listed on PRE but are not sent to

depository libraries if previously distributed.

(4) Individual Government forms are sold by GPO and are not available

for depository distribution; however, the publication we do send

contains a facsimile of the form.

(5) Conversion to microfiche may add a delay to the distribution of

a document after it is received by LSDS. Occasionally, a microfiche contractor will produce a poor quality product and the

fiche must be rejected and refilmed, causing a delay in distribution.

(6) When publications are received by LSDS with insufficient copies

to make distribution, time must be spent tracking down additional

copies or making up the difference in microfiche.

(7) Some of the publications on the PRE, but not yet in the depository

program, are awaiting completion of a survey. Until the survey is

completed, the items cannot be distributed since we do not know

to whom to send the documents.

SERIALS/PERIODICALS UPDATE

In order to keep you informed we are expanding our Discontinued Titles

listing to include other significant changes. Included will be title

changes, agency and class changes, as well as changes in frequency, format,

and availability. While most of the information will also be found on

appropriate shipping lists, and in the Monthly Catalog, we hope that listing it in Administrative Notes will provide a more convenient and timely

source of information.

Comments or suggestions concerning this expanded coverage would be

appreciated, and should be addressed to: Jean Ott, U.S. G. P.O., Library

Division, 5236 Eisenhower Ave., Alexandria, VA, 22304, or phone: (703)
