		We propose: (a) that a union list of current and historical Greek periodicals be created; (b) that American libraries divide up collecting responsibility for esoteric titles, thus assuring that at least one library holds each title; and (c) that historical periodicals be microfilmed or archived in an electronic format.
		There are significant Greek collections in the United States, but scholars have limited access to those materials due to non-lending policies, or to interlibrary loan charges, which often are passed on directly to students and faculty.
