Sponsored by CRL, ARL, LC, and the Council on Library and Information Resources, the meeting will bring together faculty, librarians, and micropublishers to examine and discuss possible structures and partnerships to extend the coverage of newspaper resources from all geographic areas. Guillermo N nez-Falcon reported that Tulane has filmed 7,000 Central American and Mexican books and pamphlets since 1990. William Walker material was not filmed. Unfortunately, the records do not necessarily represent material filmed to current standards. The goal is to build a retrospective collection of gazettes.
Film is deposited if available, and hard copy is accepted when there is no film.
A list of all deposited gazettes with the country as author will be placed on the web. NYPL has retained holdings for some countries such as France, Great Britain, the Vatican, Cuba, and Hong Kong. The question of who will collect current gazettes still remains. The group thanked Darlene for refreshments.
