BOUND CONGRESSIONAL RECORDS

BOUND CONGRESSIONAL RECORDS for the 96th Congress, 1st Session,

Kill reflect selection changes made by depositories on their recent

printouts However, such changes will not be reflected for the re- maining Lound volumes of the 95th Congress, 1st and 2nd Sessions. It

is very difficult for GPO to change projected printings in the midsc

of the issuance of a Congress. ********* ***************************************************** *******

COMMITTEE HEARINGS AND COMMITTEE PRINTS

Although Committee Hearings and Committ3e Prints are going to become available in microfiche, paper copies will still be available

and distributed to those depository libraries that select that form.

Some librarians have called to ask GPO about this, and we would like.

to clar.tfy the point. ********* v****** ********************** Aft*****************************

TIPS ON EXPEDITING CLAIMS

Do notice if the shipping list number ends with an "-S" or an

"-M", be sure to include that letter when writing the number. This

directs claim workers immediately to the area of separates or of

microfiche and gets you a fast response.

Remember lhat the address you provide on the label will be used by

GPO for identification and as an address label to your library. Be

sure to f: 11 it out in full and to include your depository number.

If you art. missing an entire shipment of a group of publications,

or, for example, 20 different CURRENT INDUSTRIAL REPORTS, just go

ahead and claim the entire shipment. Some poor souls are sending

individual claims for every item in the boxl ********************************************************************

ODD MICROFICHE PUBL 'CATIONS

There will be occasions when copies or a publication are not

available for distribution. If at all possible, GPO will do everything it can to secure at least one cottv for microfiche. A recent

example of this was the discovery of 15 odd items (Congressional

committee prints and hearings) from the 95th Congress which had

not gone to selecting depositories. These were put in microfiche

• and sent to depositories between December 31, 1980, and January

13, 1981. They should in no way be confused with similar items

libraries recently selected in Survey 80-6L\ for the 97th Congress. *********************************************************************
