We are also cataloging the Nevada 7.5 minute topos at the sheet level and should be finished in about a month, so at least there will be bib records in OCLC for the editions we have.

This system has advantages, but there are also disadvantages and problems. I would like to find other libraries using the Supt. of Docs. number so that I can learn how they help people make use of their collection. Cordially yours, Thomas Lindsey P.S. for Valerie Glenn (formerly of UNT): The Fort Worth Public Library is dropping its depository status. It is working with Texas Tech and the University of North Texas to transfer as many documents as possible.
