Publications Report No. 03-01 Date: January 17, 2003 Subject: Publications Order Form for Libraries From early 2003 through 2004, NLS will again be offering catalogs of recorded and braille books. The attached survey gives you the opportunity to order an adequate number of copies of each publication. 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. Refer to the attached printout for quantities of continuing publications you currently receive. Patrons are being sent their order forms for these catalogs. Their 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 the catalogs in the past will need to request these items from their libraries, so libraries should order enough to handle their 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 January 31, 2003, in the enclosed return envelope or fax it to (202) 707-0712. Please be sure to transmit the label that shows your library ID and other information. Please do not submit this form online. [Enclosures: This report contained print enclosures that were mailed to the network on January 15, 2003.] For further information contact: Robert E. Fistick Head, Publications and Media Section
