I have modified the 1880 Census requests page. It's much shorter and simpler. It also no longer sends an email to an MPC address because no one there is checking.
Therefore, should you see a request in the govref mailbox:
1. email Ron Goeken (goeke001@umn.edu) at the MPC and he'll bring the reels to our desk.
2. contact the patron; tell him/her that the reels will be at our desk
3. when s/he's done, tell Amy and she'll take them back when she next goes to the MPC.

Government Publications is celebrating its centennial of participation in the FDLP with a website makeover. Every link that had been on the previous version should still be directly onscreen or within a mouseover at http://govpubs.lib.umn.edu/. Also, we'll be highlighting a different publication of importance from the last 100 years each week. These entries are part of a new blog called "Federal Depository Library Centennial".
Details:
The Indexes and Databases page that used to be in the top menu has been taken away, as has the collections link. Now, you get to each collection guide (which has all the indexes and databases for a given collection) directly from the home page.
The Related column has become a menu item across the top of every page. SourceOECD is now listed there, as is the link to the Tax Forms
Search tools like Google U.S. Government Search and the IGO web search are now part of the "Search Tools" menu, also at the top of every page.
The Statistics column has become a menu item as well.
The U.S. Census has been removed from the top menu, but added to the Statistics menu and is listed in the U.S. list of resources on the home page.
