Network Bulletin No. 02-13


Date: April 5, 2002


Subject: Readership and circulation

Index term: Semiannual reports due


Enclosed are reader and circulation report forms for the
period October 1, 2001- March 31, 2002.  These reports are
due by May 10, 2002.  Please send them to the Reference
Section via the Internet or fax.  Do not send them by U.S.
postal mail.  Subregional libraries should first send their
reports to their regional libraries.

Libraries have the option of submitting reader and
circulation reports generated by their automated systems in
lieu of NLS report forms.

Libraries with NLSNET have been using the Internet to
transmit these reports. While NLSNET is no longer supported
by NLS (Automation Report 99-03), some libraries have been
successful in creating and sending other data via NLSNET
(TIE message 00-01).

Please review Section 9.2.1 (rev. 02/93) of the __Network
Library Manual__for procedures on reporting these
statistics.  Also review instructions on the back of the
forms about reporting increases and decreases since the last
fiscal year.


[Enclosures: This bulletin contained a print enclosure that
