Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Handbook of Trends and Innovations Concerning Library and Information Science

Abstract

This chapter examines the digital transformation of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) and its implications for libraries and public access to government information. It provides a brief history of the Government Publishing Office (GPO) and FDLP, followed by a discussion of the GPO Director’s Task Force Report on Transitioning to a Digital FDLP. The authors interviewed task force members and a library vendor to gain perspectives on the anticipated impact of this shift. The digital transition offers FDLP and non-FDLP libraries opportunities to expand access to government information. The chapter highlights the benefits of enhanced accessibility to all libraries and challenges such as preserving physical materials, potential loss of expertise, the digital divide, and disaster preparedness. The authors conclude that while the FDLP can and should transition to a digital program, careful planning and stakeholder engagement are necessary to ensure the continued accessibility and preservation of government information for all citizens.
