Rather than reissue every slip version of the Serial Set microfiche to reflect the final SuDoc call number, GPO creates a microfiche product that contains the title pages and the table of contents. In addition, polymer dividers are printed that contain both the bound or final Serial Set volume number of Y 1.1/2: volume number. The polymer divider also identifies the range of the Serial Set publications contained in it. The polymer dividers are shipped along with the microfiche Title Pages and Table of Contents using the same item number, 1008-D-01.

Libraries that wish to file their Serial Set microfiche in the preliminary or slip SuDoc call number order, may continue to do so, as their microfiche is labeled appropriately. Libraries that wish to file their Serial Set microfiche according to the final SuDoc call number may do so using the polymer dividers and reorganizing their slip versions according to the document ranges on the dividers. Which filing system to use is a local decision influenced by which finding aids are available, cataloging records, the ease of refilling used microfiche, etc.

This clarification is being issued as the microfiche version of the Serial Set Table of, 108th Congress was recently distributed. Libraries are reminded that only regional depositories may select the bound edition of the print Serial Set. Selective libraries may select the slip or preliminary versions of the print format or the microfiche version.

These efforts by employees ensured this job for President Barack Obama was completed on time. GPO employees also produced and delivered the Congressional Record and the Federal Register.

AdNotes began in 1980 to inform the depository library community of policies, procedures, and news relating to the Federal Depository Library Program. It was first published in paper and and distributed to all libraries in regular depository shipments, along with an annual microfiche cumulation.

The final issue of AdNotes, which covers from September-December 2009, is available on the FDLP Desktop.

Historical editions of AdNotes (1996 through 2009), including the searchable cumulative table of contents, are archived in PDF format in the FDLP Desktop’s file repository.

GPO would like to commend Marian MacGilvray (an Administrative Librarian from GPO's Office of Education and Outreach and recent retiree) for her meticulous work as the editor of AdNotes during the past 30 years. GPO applauds Marian for her extraordinary efforts in making AdNotes such a success and an essential resource for all Federal Depository librarians.
