1. DELAY IN THE MOVE OF BOOKS AND JOURNALS FROM LA GRAMA STORE
--------------------------------------------------------------

The move of books and journals of the RGO indefinite loan which are
stored at La Grama, will be longer than expected because it 
has been agreed to carry out this move only when it's bad weather on the 
mountain. Nevertheless it's possible to carry out small moves if some
collections are required or free space is needed at La Grama urgently.
Please contact the librarian. Visit these web pages for rough lists of what
came from RGO:  http://www.ing.iac.es/~library/RGOloan/
