                   Shipping Lists Have a New Look in 2002

Shipping lists for FY 2002 have a new, more open appearance, with a larger,
sharper typeface and less clutter. (For a sneak preview, see SL
2002-0051-P, dated 12/5/01.)

The claim form at the bottom of the sheet has been removed (see "Fax Only
Claiming Starts January 1, 2002," above). One addition is the repetition of
item numbers when several titles on the list are shipped under the same
item number. LPS hopes these changes will make the shipping lists easier to
process and use.

These changes are made possible by a new software platform. This is one of
several actions intended to move LPS away from obsolete, stand-alone
software applications into a fuller utilization of the networked
environment. These changes are initial steps in the LPS systems
modernization process.
