This appropriation is used to acquire domestic and foreign trade publications, both current and non-current. The publications acquired by purchase constitute a very important part of the Library's acquisitions although they represent only a small portion of the material received annually. The objectives for 1966 are: to continue the program for procurement of important research materials to strengthen the Library's collections; to continue the acquisition of selected important foreign newspapers and periodicals; to continue the program for procurement of important materials from critical areas, particularly from Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia; to continue to strengthen the Library's acquisitions in the fields of science and technology; to continue the purchase of selected current titles on microfilm as an economy measure in lieu of binding; to acquire a few important special collections long needed by the Library to fill gaps in the collections: to preserve important materials now on nitrate negative stills by converting them to a safety base film; and to continue the microfilming of deteriorating materials as a necessary preservative and space saving measure.
