On 21 Sept., 1994, I posted a message to SERIALST with the ALCTS Duplicates
Exchange Union address.  ALCTS has been swamped by inquiries, and asks that
E-mail inquiries be directed to a different address than the one posted.  The
NEW e-mail address that should be used is <u34261@uicvm.uic.edu>.  The postal
address is the same:

        DUPLICATES EXCHANGE UNION
        Association for Library Collections & Technical Services
        American Library Association
        50 East Huron Street
        Chicago, IL  60611

The purpose of the DEU is to provide free exchange of books and serials with
member libraries.  Members agree to send at least one exchange list per year to
all continental U.S. members and to reimburse postage costs of over one
dollar to sending libraries.  You do not need to be a member of ALA or ALCTS to
join the DEU.  Over 300 libraries are members of the DEU.

Many DEU members with Internet access are also participating in an experimental
electronic exchange project whereby formatted exchange lists are sent (usually
electronically) to a central site, indexed, and made available through the
Internet on the gopher at Sam Houston State University.  The lists may be
searched collectively using Boolean operators or browsed individually.  Lists
may also be downloaded and printed.  Please feel free to connect to SHSU gopher
and look at the project.  It is small, but growing.  Contact me if you would
like to join the project or have questions.  However, only DEU members may
request materials!

Thank you,

Janice Lange
