The GPO and the Depository Library Program as Structured Are Needed: Views of a Selective Depository Librarian.
Walshak, Lynn G.
Government Information Quarterly, v15 n1 p39-56 1998
Addresses perceived problems of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) and the Government Printing Office (GPO) relative to a foundering program, electronic capabilities, costs to participating libraries, inefficient service, and accountability requirements. Unfavorable images have resulted and have been used by advocacy groups to bring the GPO, FDLP, and program libraries into a disadvantaged position. (Author/JAK)
