Invitation to FDLP Virtual Meeting
In 2022, the microfiche format is being phased out of FDLP distribution. Regional depository libraries, who are responsible for managing tangible resources, may face space challenges with the paper format after microfiche ceases. To assist regional depositories, LSCM has expanded upon existing policies and procedures, which includes rolling out a National Collection Service Area framework. Regional depositories were given an overview of these changes in mid-January of 2022.
This is an invitation for all depositories to an overview of upcoming changes and an introduction to the National Collection Service Area framework.
Four virtual meetings will be held to review changes, one for each National Collection Service Area. Please identify your National Collection Service Area in the chart below. Both regional and selective depository library staff are strongly encouraged to attend the virtual meeting for your corresponding service area. If you are unable to attend your service area’s meeting, please attend any other meeting that fits your schedule.
