            Registration Open for Interagency Depository Seminar

 There are still openings available for the Interagency Depository
 Seminar! New documents librarians and librarians returning to documents
 from another area of the library may wish to consider attending the 15th
 Annual Interagency Depository Seminar, which is being held in Washington,
 DC from May 29 through June 5, 2002. The weeklong seminar will consist of
 an overview of Federal information products and activities as they relate
 to Federal depository libraries. For the first time, registrants will
 participate in hands-on training for GPO Access. The seminar is being
 presented by many Federal agencies, including:

          Bureau of the Census          STAT-USA

          Copyright Office              Library of Congress

          Office of the Federal         Patent and Trademark
          Register                      Office

          National Library of           National Library of
          Medicine                      Education

          National Transportation       National Agricultural
          Library                       Library

          Consumer Product Safety       U.S. Department of
          Commission                    Housing and Urban
                                        Development

 The Interagency Depository Seminar is the most comprehensive introduction
 to U.S. Government information now offered. It is aimed at documents
 staff with basic working experience in a depository. In the 14 years that
 it has been offered, the seminar has been very popular with the Federal
 documents community. As attendance is limited to 60, preference will be
 given to those who have not previously attended the seminar and whose
 libraries are located outside the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

 Costs for the seminar are being kept as low as possible. A $22.00
 registration fee is the only charge; it covers continental breakfast and
 other refreshments. Librarians attending the seminar must cover their own
 travel and subsistence expenses, as no government funds are available for
 that purpose.

 Participants are responsible for their transportation, food, and lodging
 expenses. A block of rooms at a rate of $150 per night (plus tax) has
 been reserved at the St. Gregory Hotel and Suites in Washington, DC.
 Reservations should be made no later than April 24, 2002, by calling
 202-530-3600 and mentioning the GPO Interagency Depository Seminar.

                    Please note: this is a change in the
                    room rate as the Government Per Diem
                    rate for Washington, DC has
                    increased from $119 per night to
                    $150 per night.

 Please contact the St. Gregory to confirm your room rate if you have
 already registered with them for the seminar.

 Prospective attendees should complete the registration form and mail it,
 along with a check for $22.00 made out to "GPO Cafeteria Service" to the
 Library Programs Service as soon as possible. Because LPS has been
 experiencing mail delivery delays, please fax your registration to
 202-512-1432, as well as mailing it with your check. If you do not
 receive an email response after 2 weeks, please email an inquiry to:
 <rhaun-mohamed@gpo.gov>. Librarians who are officially registered for the
 seminar will be notified first by e-mail immediately and then receive a
 packet by mail in mid-April 2002.
