DUPLICATE EXCHANGE
Twenty-three replies have been received andtallied from the questionnaire composed by
Pamela Cibbarelli, a member of the Duplicate
Exhange Committee. The fate of duplicate
exchange as a chapter project is uncertain
until more replies are received. Please send
replies to Pamela and your lists to Margaret
Cressaty. Since the Newsletter seldom has
space to publish the lists, the new policy of
listing the library and the availability of
the list will be followed. If you have not
already started a list, please follow thisformat:
List titles in alphabetical order. If acro-
nyms are used please enter the name of the
organization in parenthesis after the acronym.Follow the two column format with an inch
margin to the left and an inch between the
columns. At the head of each column give the
name of the library person to whom requests
should be addressed, mailing address, tele-
phone number, and the length of time itemswill be held. At the head of each column
indicate if the items are offered or needed.

,available on request from you. Please send
with each list a self addressed, stamped en-velope. Please keep a record of the number of
items reqtlested and of those that filled yourneeds. This will be another way of determin-
ing the need of duplicate exchange.
