Update Cycle Begins June 2, 1997
Libraries Will Enter Selection Changes Online
 
        The annual item selection update cycle will begin June 2, 1997 and
run through July 31, 1997.  Libraries will be able to enter their own item
additions and deletions via an automated application accessible from the
FDLP Administration Page.  This new online service will allow libraries to
enter deletions year-round.  Additions will be accepted only during the
update cycle.  Use of the online system is strongly recommended.
 
        This is the last update cycle in which LPS will accept the
"Amendment of Selections" form (GPO form 3495) for additions or deletions
to a library's item selection profile.  Libraries unable to make changes
to their item selection profile via the FDLP Administration Page should
e-mail a request for the "Amendment of Selections" form to
<lhall@gpo.gov>.  Please do not send requests until the update cycle
begins.  The item selection update cycle instructions and the annual
printout will be sent to depository libraries in May.
