An effort is made to stamp non-circulating items as such when they are processed. Holdings information for the collection is maintained in a shelflist in the Reference office and through OPAC records for selected, popular, substantive materials. OPAC cataloging records from a commercial tape service are out of the price range of the Library at this time. A list of items selected is kept at Ready Reference. An effort is made to highlight government publications in the Library and to make them easier to use.
Appropriate signage is designed to direct users.
The Library's World Wide Web site displays a copy of the government publications introductory handout, as does the display rack inside the front door. A display rack near the government publications stacks holds several handouts that introduce library users to government information. A government resources computer has been designated to run popular CD-ROMs and to provide access to the Internet. Newsletter articles focusing on aspects of government publications are occasionally written. The Government Publications Coordinator works a forty hour work week, including one evening per week and occasional weekend shifts.
