A new feature has been added to the COBS Service "Book Catalogue", which can be found at URL:

You can look now at the "latest acquisitions", where a list of books acquired in the last 30 days is available.

N.B. If you want to propose additions to the Book Catalogue which may be considered of general interest to the user community, give feedback on the current repository or simply wish to order books, send an e-mail to COBS.Service@cern.ch.

As usual these books are available via TID, EDH or cash at the UCO Help Desk (building 513). A full list of titles, prices and stock available can be found at the above URL.

We encourage users to consult this list and check if a specific book is in "Stock" before coming alonog to our service (at the UCO "Help Desk").

Please also read the new instructions for book ordering which we have initiated in the New Year (1998): this is explained in detail in the article "New Book Ordering Procedure at the UCO", in the previous CNL (CNL 229).
