Publications Report No. 98-12
Date: November 20, 1998
Subject: Publications Quantities
In early 1999, NLS will again be offering catalogs and
bibliographies of recorded and braille books. The attached
survey gives you the opportunity to order the number of
copies of each publication that you require. In addition,
we are asking you to review the number of continuing
publications you receive on a subscription basis. The
information we receive from you will be entered into the
CMLS library database. Please refer to the attached
printout for quantities of continuing publications you
currently receive.
Patrons are being sent order forms for catalogs and
bibliographies. Patron requests are being entered into CMLS
so that their orders will be filled automatically when the
publications are ready. New patrons and those who did not
receive catalogs in the past will need to request these
items from their libraries. Libraries should order a
sufficient number to handle these requests.
Each regional and subregional library is receiving this
order form. Regionals may coordinate with subregionals if
they wish.
Return the completed form to the Publications and Media
Section by December 9, 1998, in the enclosed return
envelope, or fax it to (202) 707-0712. Libraries that do
not complete this survey will keep receiving continuing
publications but will not receive any new ones. Please note
that some requests may be adjusted by NLS in order to meet
budgetary requirements.
