			     PSIRF Hours Changing
   
   Beginning November 15, 1999, the Public Patent Search and Image
Retrieval Facility (PSIRF) will close at 5 PM daily. Hours of operation
will then be 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. Equivalent patent
automated search is available in the Public Patent Search Room (PSR) in
Crystal Plaza 3 lobby from 8 AM to 8 PM. The number of workstations in
the PSR has been substantially increased and will accommodate expected
user needs.
