has been unavailable since 1985.  Colo. Rev. Stats. will again be available

10.  CARL Resource Sharing Proposal:
		Gateways to GPO and Fedworld
		Databases
		Resource sharing of document collections (microfiche)Need good document delivery.

	Fred. S. - CSU is looking at sharing some of their large microfiche collections.  
Collections should be placed in locations where fast copying and delivery is possible.  
High use library might be the archival copy site for particular pubs.  Interest in d
igitalizing/scanning microfiche docs so they can be disseminated electronically.  
DOE might do this and make available FTP.

	CARL's Gov. Pubs. Group will end in June.  There is concern about what happens 
after that.

11.  NTIA grant:
		Should we write a grant to provide equipment for everyone and get Internet 
connections for all federal and state depositories?  Deadline is May 27.  Need to read 
the document and think about ideas.  Might connect somehow to ACLIN.  We could pass 
this opportunity on to public libraries and systems.


LIBRARY SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:

Aurora Public - LAN system.  Business CDs.  Investigating Internet.

UNC - Interviewing candidates for a new position.  Mary Linscomb is moving 
to Archives.

UCCS - Just trying to stay out of the news.  Major cut in journal collection.

CC - Loaded El Paso Co. with Landview.  Thinking about loading Tiger Landview maps 
for some Colorado counties on a CD.

Regis - 26 positions on University Administration cut.  No positions lost 
from the library, although collection development may suffer.

CSU - Doing an indepth study of Government Docs along with all other library depts.  
Looking at all technical services processing to decide if retaining the current 
system or mainstreaming tech. processing is more efficient.  Also rethinking reference 
services.  Are considered a tiered reference system (Info Desk - Docs. referral - In 
depth by appointment.

State Library - We will soon see media ads about ACLIN.  The legislative database is 
available through Pikes Peak LD.

DPL - Will be closed for a period of time to move to new building.

Auraria - Centralized reference area developing.  Evelyn Yang is the new document 
delivery librarian.

CU - Gov. Docs. is undergoing study for employee risk management.  Back problems of 
most of staff finally triggered this.  Walking on the tile floor is most likely the 
culprit.  The people studying staff work requirements are surprised at the demands 
of the job (people who work in libraries spend most of their time sitting 
around reading books - right??)


TOUR OF NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LIBRARIES

	The group then toured the National Park Service Center Library.  It serves all 
of the U.S. for park construction.  They have all of the construction plans, photographs, 
as well as non-GPO pubs.  They are very service oriented and will be glad to help the 
public with questions.  Librarians can call for help as well.
	CU Boulder has an index and full set of National Park Service microfiche.  If 
you would like copies of particular park fiche let Tim know which ones and he will 
send you those.
