Although the program is to some extent voluntary, it will involve one major change for every user of the center. Beginning January 1, 1995, every stock request must be accompanied by a Bloomington User Number (BUN) that has been assigned to your research group by the stock center. Heads of laboratories can request a BUN by providing us with a list of authorized users in their group. Students/post-docs/technicians/associates are at the mercy of lab-heads/PIs/advisors/mentors for their BUN. Most of you in the latter group have or will receive within the next few days a letter describing the program and telling you what you have to do next. However, we will no doubt have missed some of you. If you are the head of a laboratory and do not receive the mailing by December 5, please contact us (preferably by e-mail) for a copy. If you are in the student et al. category, remind the head of your group that you will not be able to order stocks from the center after 11am December 15, 1994 (the last weekly order deadline for 1994) until he/she has registered your group and been assigned a BUN. -------------------------------------------------------------- Kathy Matthews MATTHEWK@FLY.BIO.INDIANA.EDU Department of Biology MATTHEWK@INDIANA.EDU Indiana University MATTHEWK@IUBACS Bloomington, IN 47405-6801 812-855-5782 .
