Abstract

The Government Printing Office (GPO) and the 1200 libraries of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) have been collaborating for 140 years to ensure that the citizens of the United States have access to their government's information. They now face a transition from a paper- based to a web-based system. A recent joint study by the GPO and a group of FDLP librarians, funded by a NSF SGER, identified the LOCKSS (Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) technology as a potential basis for this transition. The system may restore to librarians the ability to take custody of government document materials, to continue to build collections, and to ensure government document products will be available for the medium and very long term. The LOCKSS Government Documents program is an official GPO Partnership project.
