Network Bulletin No. 98-33 Date: May 29, 1998 Subject: Excess and redistribution program (XESS) Index term: Annual cycle for missing braille volumes The annual XESS cycle for braille titles with missing volumes will begin July 1, 1998. Libraries should submit their lists so as to reach the Inventory Management Section no later than _June 30, 1998._ Using information reported by participating libraries, NLS will create an Excess Partial Braille (BR) Titles Report similar to the one attached. It will be sent to all participating libraries four to six weeks after the deadline so they can use it to request missing volumes from other libraries. Libraries must arrange their own exchanges. Also attached is a sample XESS report and one copy of each form libraries need to participate. Libraries may photocopy as many forms as needed. Libraries _must_ send their forms to reach NLS by _June 30._ Instructions for using NLSNET are attached. Send lists to: XESS Inventory Management Section NLS/BPH Library of Congress Washington, DC 20542 If within three months no library requests your spare volumes, they may be discarded as described in Network Library Manual entry 6.10.7. [Attachment: This report contained an attachment that was mailed to the network on May 29, 1998.] For further information contact: John Lewis, Head Inventory Management Section
