We just print 'em out and glue 'em in. It doesn't look gorgeous, but as long as the information is there no one seems to care. The problem we had with this was just figuring out what was going on! Repeated emails to Christie's asking why the price lists had stopped coming and if they would ever send them again went unanswered. We just started printing them from the website on our own. According to our assistant librarian, Sotheby's has also ceased sending price lists (emails and letters to them have also gone unaswered), so we print those out, too. Occasionally, a price list from Sotheby's does show up, but there's no pattern to it. Just yesterday, a new auction catalog came in, with a price list from a previous, completely different, sale enclosed. Our library assistant has now developed a little routine for printing out and tipping in the price lists. She likes working on the 'net and it's something new and different for her, as well as a break from her usual shelving and filing duties, so it's not a problem. == Kathleen M.
