Machines and Accessories No. 02-11




Date: September 20, 2002


Subject: Machine-repair annual statistics report




NLS is asking machine-lending agencies (MLAs) to provide
information about the number of machine repairs they
coordinated during fiscal year 2002.  This information will
be used in developing the NLS machine-repair budget.  Each
subregional library is asked to complete the report and
submit a copy to its regional library by October 11, 2002.
Regional libraries that are not MLAs should then provide a
summary to their MLA.  Each MLA should send a report
containing a combined total that includes all repair
activities in its area to NLS by October 30, 2002.

__Important note:__ The U.S. Postal Service mail delivery at
NLS is still disrupted.  All reports from MLAs to NLS must
be sent via fax or e-mail.  To fax, use a cover page
directing the fax to "Engineering, ERO" at (202) 707-0712.
To e-mail, use the subject line "Repair survey."  Send the
report to [log in to unmask] and be sure that the report
identifies the reporting MLA.

Equipment Repair Officer
