LSCM Pilot Project 2 with University of North Texas Libraries Now Complete

The Library Services & Content Management (LSCM) Pilot Project 2 initiative, conducted in collaboration with the University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries (0608A), is now complete. 

Through the pilot, GPO teammates visited the University of North Texas Libraries to assess the condition of tangible documents and review item-level inventories. GPO cataloged and digitized 643 World War II-era military technical manuals that were also inventoried, and will remain part of the Preservation Steward partnership collections held at the UNT Libraries. 

• All titles included in UNT Libraries Pilot Project 2 received both print and online version records in the CGP. Those records can be found by using the search string (wlts= PILOTPROJECT2UNT and wur=http?) in expert search.
• These digitized, historic UNT military technical manuals are now available for permanent public access via GovInfo. The UNT PP2 collection can be found in GovInfo using basic search and the query “mods:pilotproject2unt”.
• GPO also provided the UNT PP2 digital surrogates and related metadata to the UNT Digital Library in January 2026, and these will eventually be added to that Digital Preservation Steward partnership repository as well.

Launched in 2021, LSCM Pilot Projects are focused initiatives designed to enhance the National Collection of U.S. Government Public Information and to help Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) libraries make Government information more discoverable for the public.
