GPO Partners with Yale University Library to Preserve Government Information

Yale University’s Lillian Goldman Law Library signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) to become a Preservation Steward. To help libraries meet the needs of efficient Government document stewardship in the digital era, GPO has established Preservation Stewards to support continued public access to U.S. Government documents in print format. These libraries contribute significantly to the effort to preserve printed documents. Through the agreement, many libraries also serve as digital access partners providing digital access to Government information. There are currently more than 60 libraries serving as Preservation Stewards across the United States.

“As a former Associate Law Librarian at Yale Law Library, I am of course thrilled to have this special library on board to help GPO deliver on its vision of an America Informed,” said GPO Superintendent of Documents Scott Matheson. “The preservation of and easy access to Government information remains critical to America’s democracy.”
