In the interest of providing more effective and less costly service to depository libraries, paper claims fulfillment will once again be performed in-house. Depository libraries are again asked to assist LPS in reducing the number of invalid claims by observing the proper claims process. Please claim only those items your library has selected to receive. Claims must be submitted within 60 calendar days from the date on the shipping list. During the annual update cycle the number of invalid claims increases drastically.
Additions remain pending until they are activated at the start of a fiscal year.
Your library will begin to receive the added publications at this time. Do not base your claims for missing depository publications on additions made during the update cycle period until you receive a shipping list dated on or after October 1, 1997. Deletions can be submitted to LPS throughout the year. If your library has deleted an item number, LPS will stop shipping the publication within 72 hours after receipt of your library's deletion request. Do not claim deleted items.
