A number of years ago, the Naval War College Library was faced with an A76 study. Bob Schnare and his staff worked very hard to justify getting an exemption, which we did. If you can head it off before it even takes place, that's the best situation to be in. Lucille Lucille M. Rosa Head, Tech Services Naval War College Library 686 Cushing Rd.

Navy libraries have dealt with this as well, but as usual with the Navy there's no central office that I know of to consult on this, although James King at the Naval Research Laboratory Library and Maxine Reneker at the Naval Postgraduate School are always knowledgeable sources about naval libraries. Good luck.

We are in the middle of a streamlined A-76 study at the moment. We should hear by December 20th whether or not they have decided to keep us in-house or go to the MEO, advertise etc. Does anyone have any suggestions? Advice? This is a case where they are considering ALL library jobs including mine -- the librarian/director. This could possibly leave the Technical Information Center and Library contract being managed by a federal employee with no library education or training. Maybe this is typical -- I don't know. I would like to hear any and all experiences. There is no way that I could attend this session and I fear that it will be too late in the game to help us.
