Public Access to Essential Gov’t Docs

From the GPO: Essential Titles for Public Use in Paper Format: The list comprises 48 titles, along with associated web links as available.

  • “The dissemination of information products through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) includes a variety of formats. As directed by Congress, the primary method of making publications available to the FDLP is in online format. There are, however, specific titles that are to remain available for selection in paper format, so long as they are published in paper by the originating agency. These titles contain critical information about the activities of the U.S. Government or are important reference publications for libraries and the public. Maintaining the availability of these titles for selection in paper format has been deemed essential to the purposes of the FDLP.”
