Clearing Up A Backlog

The Hispanic Division completed its arrearage (backlog) reduction and also the Hispanic government serials arrearage of the Serial and Government Publications Division. By the end of September the Photoduplication Service and the Preservation Microfilm Office completed and Hispanic Division Senior Bibliographer Reynaldo Aguirre reviewed the Hispanic Pamphlets II, the Puerto Rican Memorial and the Dobles Segreda collections. All but Dobles Segreda will be available for purchase by the end of 1995. Everette Larson completed reviewing and sent for filming a rare collection of pamphlets from the Panama Canal Zone Library.

Specialist in Mexican Culture Barbara Tenenbaum led a team composed of Junior Fellow Kaydee McCann, bibliographer Tracy North, AT&T Fellow Ana Maria Villamarin, also assisted by Senior Bibliographer Juan Manuel Perez and AT&T Fellow Camelia Pico, all of whom during the "final push" last summer completed work on the Hispanic serial arrearage. Approximately 200,000 pieces have been evaluated and 106,000 deselected (53 percent). The team set aside 900 items for microfilming.
