FLICC/FEDLINK Members:

    The FLICC Budget and Finance Working Group and FEDLINK Advisory
Council would like your comments on the FEDLINK budget and fee structure
for FY98.  Instead of sending out a detailed "call for estimates" about
your plans for funding FEDLINK services, this year we have only a few
questions about the trends in your library budget, and use of the transfer
pay and direct pay services.

    You can answer the questions online through the FLICC Web site by
filling out the "FY98 Budget Questionnaire", posted in the "Hot Topics"
section (http://lcweb.loc.gov/flicc).  If you do not have Web access, the
Fiscal Hotline (202-707-4900) can fax you a copy of the short
questionnaire.

   Your input will help us develop solid projections of the service
activity levels for the next year so that FY98 fees may be set
accordingly.
