                    Item Lister and UnionL Now Updated Weekly

   Item Lister, at www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/itemlist.html, and
   UnionL (the companion files of Item Lister data for all
   depositories) on the Federal Bulletin Board at
   http://fedbbs.access.gpo.gov/libs/unionl.htm, are now updated
   weekly.

   Item Lister/UnionL data files will be downloaded from GPO's
   mainframe computer each Thursday evening, and uploaded each Friday
   to the Web and Federal Bulletin Board to update Item Lister and
   UnionL.

   Documents librarians are strongly encouraged to check item number
   drops made using the Amendment of Item Selections application at
   www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/amendment.html, by reviewing the
   Item Lister. Drops made from Friday through 6:00 p.m. on the
   following Thursday should show up in the subsequent Friday's Item
   Lister files.

   If your library's deselections are not reflected in Item Lister,
   please contact Joe Paskoski (jpaskoski@gpo.gov ; phone (202)
   512-1698; fax: (202) 512-1432), and forward a copy (preferably by
   e-mail or by fax) of the Web page or e-mail confirmation you
   received for your dropped item numbers.
