INQUIRIES CONCERNING THE COPYRIGHT OFFICE AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS OF THE LIBRARY

Occasionally we receive a letter of inquiry asking questions concerning both copyright matters and matters which might refer to other departments of the Library, such as, for example, processing of catalog cards, dissemination of the copyright deposits once they have reached the shelves of the Library, etc. We, of course, should not attempt to answer any inquiries pertaining to the operating procedure in other than our own Division. However, steps must be taken to see that the other inquiries are answered.

Where a letter of inquiry relates to matters not entirely within the jurisdiction of the Copyright Office, replies will be directed solely to the copyright matters, and the writer of the letter of inquiry will be told that his other inquiries have been referred to the appropriate department in the Library for reply. 1-67
