We wish to assure people that Library Programs Service personnel and
personnel of the Cataloging and Distribution Service (CDS) of the
Library of Congress are working closely with one another to correct
problems associated with GPO cataloging tapes for the month of December,
1997 and the months of January and February, 1998. Data processing
problems have prevented CDS from issuing these tapes.
We are working very closely with CDS personnel to correct problems
associated with these tapes. We regret these delays and expect that
these and subsequent tapes will be issued by CDS within the near future.
Sincerely,
Thomas A. Downing
Chief, Cataloging Branch
Library Programs Service
