Network Bulletin No. 03-20
Date: May 30, 2003
Subject: Network Library Database and Annual Survey
Index Term:
We are ready to compile the 2003 edition of __Library Resources for the Blind
and Physically Handicapped__ and want to make sure that the data required for
the directory is current and accurate. Please use the Network Library Database to
update your budget, staffing, and collections information. Please submit your
budget figures for fiscal year 2002 -- not for 2003. Input numbers without
commas or dollar signs. For collections and staffing, please replace old figures
with those of your current collection and staff positions. Further instructions are
given on screen for adding a new collection category or staff position, or for
deleting ones you no longer have. Enter square footage of your library at the
bottom of the page titled "Update Administration Information." Also review the
"Update Organization Information " and the "Update Other Information " pages
to make any corrections or additions that are appropriate. A print replica of the
update pages is enclosed for reference.
If you make any changes on a page, be sure to click the "Submit" or "Update"
button at the bottom of the page or section; otherwise, your changes will not take
effect. When you submit a change, you will get a confirmation screen displaying
the updated information. You should print the confirmation page to retain a
record of your transactions. Changes must be input __before June 16, 2003,__
to be included in the 2003 edition of__ Library Resources.__
To access the Network Library Database, please log into the network library web
site, <http://www.loc.gov/pics/>, with your administrative user ID and password.
The network database is the seventh link on the menu.
