The Library at the Naval Research Laboratory has four federal positions, out of a total of 29, that were originally established as Computer Specialists and have now been converted to the new IT series. They range in grade from GS-11 through GS-13. Getting them established was not a particular problem. However, this may be a result of our hiring a computer specialist to administer our library system back in the 80's, thereby establishing a precedent for this type of position in the library. The others have been added over the past five or six years, as replacements for staff in other categories, such as Technical Information Specialists or Systems Librarians. Laurie E.

In addition to general (base or post) libraries, I'm very interested in input from special, academic, and technical libraries . The Air Force has not yet released a Standard Core Personnel Document (SCPD) for the 2210 series, even though OPM implemented this series in Mar 01. Hope you all are far ahead of us on this issue and will have successful PDs and stories to share. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Lucy Buchwald, Director Aviano Base Library, Italy
