. The Biological bulletin. Biology; Zoology; Biology; Marine Biology. 18 Annual Report. collections according to the alphabet will be maintained, albeit into two places. The A-Z arrangement will be in the front part of the stacks for currently received journals and also in the back wing for the pre-1976 journals. In an attempt to recover some of the escalating costs incurred in the Library, we have tried to create a model for users who are not directly associated with the contributing Woods Hole institutions. We have also changed our interlibrary loan policies and have increased resource sharing with a number of institutions, Brandeis, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Wesleyan, University of Rhode Island and the Pell Laboratory. Escalating costs and U. S. postage rates drove the increase in interlibrary loan charges, and at the International Association of Marine Science Libraries and Information Centers' conference in Seattle, Washington, we were challenged, without ill will, but with some concern from the international community, about our rate increases. A solution to this problem may involve sharing the responsibility for serials collection development at the national and international level during the 1990s. Preservation Two documents that have been of historic and sentimental value to the scientists, staff, and visitors of the MBL were appraised and declared endangered. Study Nature Not Books—the black charcoal, handwritten sign of Louis Agassiz—had adhered to its backing and tears, holes, stains, rust, scratches, and smudges were evident everywhere. The same was true ot the two-page Last one to Go message to American soldiers by Katsuma Dan. Both of these documents were sent to the Northeast Document Conservation Center for treatment and have been returned to the library for display. —Cathy Norton Acting Librarian.
