    • Publications issued by regional Federal offices or agencies.
    • Publications in the areas of voting, civil rights, women’s suffrage, or tribal rights.

LSCM Pilot Projects are opportunities for FDLP libraries to collaborate with GPO in areas such as cataloging, collection inventory, condition assessment, and preservation. These jointly-conducted projects are envisioned to benefit the larger FDLP community and ultimately to enhance access to the National Collection of U.S. Government Public Information.
