3. OTHER NEWS
-------------
Changes in SLO Book Library: Sections '92 Biographies' and '964 La
Palma and Canary Islands' have been moved to the central bays, just
in front of the photocopier. SPIE Proceedings now occupy the space
left by both sections.
The new section "Urgent Astronomy News" at the library home page
(http://www.ing.iac.es/Astronomy/library/) provides access for library
users only to the latest IAU Circulars, CBET Circulars, Minor Planet
Electronic Circulars and The Astronomer's Telegrams, and to the
archive of all of them. I wish to thank Robert Greimel who kindly
wrote the scripts.
