I know NGA's distribution policies have been a topic of converstation recently. Our last shipping list (2004-2008-S) was stamped received in October 2004, which also seems to be the latest on record at the web sites where the shipping lists are archived. The USA is also security-crazy and we are no doubt protecting our national security by not distributing these charts to libraries. :-( Thanks, Mark ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mark Thomas / [log in to unmask] / 919-660-5853, fax:919-684-2855 Economics, Geology, Geography Bibliographer Map and GIS Librarian / Public Documents and Maps Department 025 Perkins Library / Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0177 --
