Title: 15 Amazing Facts about Digital Deposit You’ve Got to See to Believe and How They Could Change Gov Info Collections Forever

Speakers:

• Julia Ezzo; Government Information, Packaging, & Political Science Librarian; Michigan State University Libraries
• Robbie Sittel, Working Group Chair, Government Information Librarian, University of North Texas Libraries
• James Jacobs, Government Information Librarian, Stanford University

With more and more Government information published directly to the web, mechanisms should be in place to discover, collect, describe, and distribute born-digital material. The Digital Deposit Working Group was charged by the DLC to examine the value of digital deposit and how it applies to Federal depository libraries and the information we collect and share with our patrons. This session will present the facts, findings, and recommendations of the Digital Deposit Working Group.
