from Gayle Williams--
This is part of a recent item in v. 21, no. 3 (Feb. 7, 2001) of the ALCTS
Electronic Newsletter--
"FOREIGN BOOK DEALERS DIRECTORIES SURVEY
Foreign Book Dealers Directories Series, a subcommittee of the ALCTS AS
Publications Committee, asks your assistance with the following brief
survey.
The subcommittee publishes three directories of book dealers: Asia/Pacific -
www.ala.org/alcts/publications/asia/index.html; Africa/Middle East -
www.ala.org/alcts/publications/africa/index.html; and Eastern Europe/Former
Soviet Union -www.ala.org/alcts/publications/easteur/toc.html
The present directories, available at the URLs above, were originally
compiled from surveys of ARL libraries conducted between 1991 and 1995; this
project served to update the 1979 print publication Third World Booksellers:
a selected list of Bookdealers in Africa, Asia and Latin America. (Latin
America was eliminated as a category because of the excellent directory
published by SALALM). Since the surveys were completed, the committee has
worked to update information contained in the directories and migrate it to
the Web. All three directories have had their Master Vendor Lists refreshed
in the past year. The directories are available free in this format, and no
print editions are planned."
It's encouraging to see how our efforts are recognized and that the new
directory in progress will be needed beyond SALALM as in the past. Gayle
