Depository Program Issues
Down Memory Lane
Lost among boxes and old documents in the Blume Library storage room was a set of slides intended to promote the use of documents and show how to find them. The set was made at North Dakota State, but we had inserted a couple of slides showing our documents area. Instructional slides include the pre-1976 and post-1976 Monthly Catalog, plus CIS and ASI indexes.
For librarians of a certain age, these slides will bring back lots of memories!
