[Please excuse cross-posting] Dear Colleagues: The current GPO binding contract is due to expire at the end of January. During the last couple of years, FLICC/FEDLINK staff has heard that federal libraries have experienced problems with the current vendor. A task force of the FLICC Preservation and Binding Working Group will be working this summer and fall on reviewing the contract to provide suggestions to GPO as they prepare to issue a new contract. The task force is very interested in hearing from you about your experiences with the current vendor (Mid Atlantic Bookbindery). Are you satisfied with the quality of the work? Is the work delivered on time? Do the invoices arrive in time for you to pay them on time? Any other comments about the current contract or vendor are welcome. The task force would also like to know how many of you in the Washington, DC metropolitan area have gotten a waiver from using the GPO contract. What was involved in getting the waiver? Task force members are Carolyn Bazarnik, Dept. of Justice; Vicky Crone, Air Force History Support Office; Dolores Fairbanks, Dept. of State; Anne Harrison, FEDLINK; Werner Haun, Library of Congress; and Jean Hort, Navy Dept. Library. Please send your comments to the list or to me directly. Thank you very much. - Anne Anne Harrison FEDLINK Program Specialist Library of Congress 101 Independence Ave. SE LA 217 Washington, DC 20540-4935 202-707-4834 Fax: 202-707-4828 [log in to unmask]
