Dear PACS-L subscribers:
As we approach the year 2000, I am hoping you may be able to provide
information about the status of catalogued government publications and
librarians' perceptions of document usage.
For example--before your docs were catalogued, were they used heavily/
not at all, etc.
Upon converting your PACs, did use significantly--appreciably--perceptibly
increase?
Are you a depository library? And if so, are your docs catalogued?
If they are, do they get a good deal of use?
If you are a depository library and your docs **are not** catalogued, what
is the extent of their usage?
Finally, does it matter if your docs are on the OPAC or not?
Thank you for responding directly to me,
Nicholas G. Tomaiuolo, MLS
