Uncertain Future for the United Nations Depository Libraries System Speakers:
Like the Federal Depository Library System, the United Nations Depository Libraries (UNDL) system is a network of libraries that received copies of all United Nations documents and publications in the language of their choice and according to their regional location. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy caused extensive damage to New York and the surrounding areas. Since then, the UN has not distributed hard-copy documents and publications to UN Depositories located in North America. Due to the shift to online publishing, the costs of physical production and distribution, and budget reductions, the UNDL has not considered a viable option. The new proposed UNDL model sets up a consumer-based relationship between the UNDL librarians and the United Nations through the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) iLibrary; this goes against the UN’s own Sustainable Development Goals, which rely upon transparent, ready access to information. The new model will disadvantage people and communities in areas without widespread and reliable access to the Internet. Our presentation will focus on this new disturbing trend in the world of government resources and depository systems. We will update the audience on the collaborative action taken by the global community of United Nations depository librarians. The group has prepared and submitted an advocacy letter and resolutions to the United Nations Publications Board and the United Nations Department of Public Information. The letter and resolutions describe concerns regarding the current state of the UN Depository Library Program and its future. We’re Here, We’re Queer, and We’re in the Public Record: Federal Government Documents on the LGBT Movement Speakers:
The United States government provides a wealth of primary sources that can be used to document our nation’s stance on many social movements. In this session, we will focus on selected documents pertaining to the LGBT movement. Beginning in the 1800’s, we can see instances of sodomy and crimes against nature. By the 1950 and 1960’s we see witch hunts and hushed silence stemming from a fear of national security, along with glimmers of hope. From the 1970’s forward we begin to see several instances of a more tolerant government, together with a variety of backlashes, until we arrive at the present day of marriage equality and the White House lit up in rainbow colors for Pride. While our society may not be fully inclusive of LGBT people, our government is much more open than it was in the past. Date Recorded: 10/18/2016 Duration: 91 minutes

Stay Young at Heart / Mantén Tu Corazón Joven: Bilingual Resources for an Aging Population Speaker:
The population age 65 and over numbered 44.7 million in 2013, an increase of 24.7% since 2003. Persons reaching age 65 have an average life expectancy of an additional 19.3 years (http://www.aoa.gov/Aging_Statistics/Profile/). The diversity of the aging population is also increasing. In 2012, of those age 65 and older, 20.7% were from minority groups. This number is expected to be 39.1% by 2050 according to the US Census Bureau. These statistics indicate a need for more information for the senior population and more information for minority groups and speakers of other languages. This bilingual presentation will provide statistics on the aging population and focus on government resources available to meet the needs of the aging population. Resources covered will include social security, Medicare, health and mental health, employment and educational opportunities and will also focus on resources available to speakers of other languages. Tips will be provided for working with this population of users Date Recorded: 10/18/2016 Duration: 78 minutes

To Weed or Not to Weed: Managing an Electronic Collection Speaker:
As more and more government information is made available digitally, your catalog is bound to accumulate a lot of records. Some of these are for items that are still of great interest to your users. Others are things that you would weed if they were in paper or microfiche. Should you "weed" those records? This presentation will demonstrate one library's process of examining the issue and deciding what to do with those electronic catalog records. Providing Open Access to Government Information Federal Technical Reports (TRAIL) Speakers:
Celebrate the Technical Report Archive & Image Library’s (TRAIL) 10th Anniversary and learn about our commitment to open access of federal technical reports and our collaborative effort in saving at-risk government information. Date Recorded: 10/18/2016 Duration: 73 minutes

A Shared Obsession with Congress: Libraries, Archives, and the “Y” of it All Speakers:
What happens when depository librarians look beyond our SuDoc “Y” collections? Are the real gems of Congressional information filed in archival boxes or in the open stacks of depository libraries? In every state, Congressional archives are the perfect complement to federal depository libraries. As documents librarians learn about local Members of Congress and their papers, we can bring increased focus to our own collection development, LibGuides, reference, and instruction. In this session, two Congressional papers archivists and a government documents librarian share their unique perspectives. How can our continued conversations about Congressional information enhance the relevance and reach of the FDLP? Date Recorded: 10/18/2016 Duration: 99 minutes
