这是图书馆的回复:
Dear YYYYYY
I have been asked to respond to your e-mail in ZZZZZ's absence.
I'm happy to say that your donation of books was passed on to our
cataloguing department at the beginning of June. Approximately 80% of
the
titles have been entered into the on-line catalogue and are on their
way to
the assigned branches. There was a slight delay in editing the existing
records due to the massive upgrade of the library's automated system 2
weeks
ago. Newer titles require more cataloguing input but will appear on
Horizon
in due course.
Your generous cash donation of $640.00 has been invested in a selection
of
books. I've attached an annotated list of the titles purchased. Please
note
that the list includes the titles you suggested, as well as current
titles
of a more scholarly nature, made possible by your gift. We hope you
will be
pleased by the scope and depth of the additions.
In order to alert the Chinese community to the additions made possible
by
your donation, we have also taken the liberty of making the attached
list
available to the Chinese Culture Centre of Ottawa.
Finally, we have requested that receipts be sent to AsiaPeace. You
should
receive them shortly.
Thank you once again for your timely and thoughtful donation.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXXXX
ASIA PEACE DONATION LIST
