F e d e r a l D e p o s i t o r y L i b r a r y P r o g r a m ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES Newsletter of the Federal Depository Library Program ------------------------------------------------------------------------ September 15, 2002 GP 3.16/3-2:23/12 (Vol. 23, no. 12) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ephemera on Needs and Offers Lists Should be Identified The Needs and Offers List serves a valuable, two-fold function: it helps libraries do necessary weeding, and it helps depositories and other libraries fill gaps in their collections. The Needs and Offers List has traditionally been used for substantial titles of historical and research interest, runs of serials, etc. However, it can also be used for more ephemeral material, such as Park Service leaflets. It would be helpful to the receiving libraries if this material were identified in some way, i.e., by labeling it as a circular, pamphlet or flyer, or giving the number of pages. Depository libraries should submit lists, or a URL that links to a list on their Web site, by e-mail or e-mail attachment, to William (Bill) Gordon, the list editor, at . Please use "GovDoc Exchange List" as the subject line. Lists are posted for 90 days, or less if the submitting library requests it. Please include contact information somewhere either at the top or bottom of the list, in addition to the e-mail message.
