Show Your Impact! Share Your Government Document Stories

Depository Library Council’s Statistics and Metrics Working Group was convened in 2024 to research, report on, and recommend options for how the U.S. Government Publishing Office can collect data from Federal depository libraries (FDLs) on the usage of digital and tangible Government information products. Having undertaken a quantitative survey of FDLs in 2024, the Working Group is now turning to a qualitative assessment, as was recommended in their report of the 2024 survey.

The Working Group is now collecting impact stories that emanate from the use of Federal Government documents in depository libraries. Submitted stories will be compiled into an interactive story map (see the prototype), with the goal of having use case representation from all 50 states and the United States territories.
