E.D. TABS zipped WP5 Federal Libraries and Information Centers in the United States 1994 96247.zip 72KB This zipped file consists of 5 files in Word Perfect 5 format. It appears to be the same publication as the PDF version just above. The files are dated 19 April 1996. I am guessing the two documents have the same information but you would have to have a program that would read and format WP5 files correctly to have readable tables.
