  • The Federal Depository Library Program in 2023: One Perspective on the Transition to the Future
    College & Research Libraries, 2009
    Co-Authors: Peter Hernon, Laura Saunders
    Abstract:

    The Government Printing Office (GPO) administers a Depository Library Program that provides the public with access to government publications, including digital ones. For years, the GPO, its Depository Library Council, and documents librarians have discussed the future role of member libraries. This article explores a different, but critical, perspective: that of directors of university libraries within the Association of Research Libraries. Thirty directors reviewed different scenarios and selected the one they envision their university assuming. The findings have implications for librarians in any Depository Library Program and others interested in the future role of libraries as collection and service centers for government information resources.

  • the Depository Library Program in the 21st century the issue is one of which services to offer
    The Journal of Academic Librarianship, 1997
    Co-Authors: Peter Hernon, Robert E. Dugan
    Abstract:

    There has been extensive discussion of the Depository Library Program administered by the US Governement Printing Office (GPO) becoming, by the early 21st century, an electronic Depository Program. Both Congress and the GPO support change. The purpose of this essay is to assess the climate of change, raise key issues missing from the national and local discussion, and encourage greater focus on services and less attention to visions of structural change

  • Electronic census products and the Depository Library Program: Future issues and trends
    Government Information Quarterly, 1991
    Co-Authors: Peter Hernon, Charles R. Mcclure
    Abstract:

    Abstract This article reports on a study that reviewed the types of electronic media in which census products intended for Depository Library distribution appear. Paper copy distribution for census publications remains important. In fact, the Depository librarians interviewed regard paper copy and CD-ROM as the primary distributions formats. Electronic bulletin boards, in the future, may assume third place among the primary distribution formats. The article also identifies key issues related to increasing access to electronic information via the Depository Library Program and reviews some scenarios for the provision of government information products to Library clientele. The study suggests that libraries are including more electronic services and are providing for remote access to Library collections and services. However, a number of key issues require attention if future electronic census products are to have increased access through the Depository Library Program.

  • Discussion forum: The census Depository Library Program
    Government Information Quarterly, 1991
    Co-Authors: Peter Hernon
    Abstract:

    Abstract Of the various Depository Library Programs, the one administered by the Government Printing Office (GPO) is undoubtedly the best known and most frequently mentioned in the literature. Federal legislation and the Office of Management and Budget's Circular A-130 recognize this Program as the premier Depository Program in the United States in providing public access to government publications.1 However, other Programs exist (e.g., those of the Geological Survey, Bureau of the Census, and Patent and Trademark Office), and attempts to restructure the GPO's Program frequently fail to consider these other Depository Programs. Perhaps one of the least discussed Programs in the literature is the one operated by the Bureau of the Census. The purpose of this essay is to examine the role and importance of the census Depository Program and to encourage further investigation of non-GPO Programs. The insights reported here were gathered from interviews conducted at the Bureau of the Census, an examination of the published literature, and an analysis of the libraries currently participating in the Depository Program.

  • The U.S. Government Printing Office's initiatives for the Federal Depository Library Program to set the stage for the 21st century
    Government Information Quarterly, 2008
    Co-Authors: Ted Priebe, Amy Welch, Marian Macgilvray
    Abstract:

    Abstract It is estimated that the majority of federal information is born digital. To that end, the U.S. Government Printing Office is transforming into a 21st century electronic information agency. As part of this effort, the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) has been investigating new options for the dissemination of Federal information that incorporate digitization, preservation, electronic metadata, and information retrieval. The FDLP's efforts to find new solutions will improve acquisitions, information access, and collection development for Depository libraries. This article describes just a few of the initiatives GPO has undertaken to increase access to electronic U.S. Government information.
