GAO Document on Electronic Dissemination of Government Publications

January 31st, 2008 by John Wonderlich · No Comments

In 2001, the GAO published a document entitled “Information Management; Electronic Dissemination of Government Publications” (pdf).

The GAO is responding to a congressional request for information on electronic documents dissemination, and ends up discussing the GPO, LOC, and FDLP in great detail. Apparently they considered transferring the FDLP from the GPO to the LOC.

Also, the report lists the essential documents which must continue to be printed, regardless of how digitized we become.
