CHANGES IN THE SLO LIBRARY

Recently I have moved the following items:

Dictionaries and Encyclopedias: from the rest room to the library (where the
IAU Symposia used to be).

Astronomy Preprints: from the shelves near the balcony to the display 
shelves (where journals and newsletters are displayed).

ASP Conference Series: from the entrance to the back (where the astronomy
preprints used to be).

IAU Symposia: as ASP Conf. Series.

Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts: from the display shelves to the
shelves where ASP Conf. Series used to be.
