Abstract

As U.S. government information is becoming increasingly available via the Internet, library administrators are questioning the costs and benefits of continuing to participate in the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). And, given the current state of transition within the FDLP, within libraries, and within the growth of new technologies, what will future participation in the FDLP entail? This article provides a starting point from which individual libraries can seriously evaluate continuation of their depository status. The article explores many of the basic questions that a library needs to address and suggests additional resources to assist libraries in their assessments.
