Depository libraries are required to submit their inquiries on a
Depository Library Inquiry Form, GPO Form 3794 (see Exhibit J of
the
Instructions to Depository Libraries) via mail or fax.
The Depository Library Inquiry Form greatly facilitates LPS'
ability to
respond to the majority of questions submitted. Additional
copies of the
Depository Library Inquiry Form can be obtained by writing to:
Some problems or questions are not suitable for the Depository
Library
Inquiry Form and should be handled differently:
1) Certain questions or services (e.g. obtaining
copies of
missing shipping lists) are best handled at the local or regional
level.
Depository libraries should contact a local or regional
depository library
if available, instead of contacting LPS.
2) Complex problems should be addressed to the
specific unit
within LPS that deals with that area of responsibility.
Correspondence
directed to LPS should always include the depository library
number,
business phone number, fax number if available, and best time to
call.
Contact points within LPS for specific areas of responsibility
are listed
