Description
The Depository Network, Part 1 - More than Collections: Why Regional Services Matter in the FDLP Network
Services provided to selective depositories (and to the general public) are just as important as the collections held by regional depositories. However, when people think of regional depository libraries, they usually think only of regional collections. Join us as we explore the often-overlooked services provided by and responsibilities required of regional depository libraries.
The Depository Network, Part 2 - The Importance of Being Allowed to Discard: Why Regionals Support the Draft Policy
GPO’s draft policy that will permit regional depositories to discard, under strictly controlled conditions, has generated much discussion both inside and outside the depository community. During this session, five DLC members who work at regional depositories discuss the reasons why regional depository coordinators and library administrations overwhelmingly support implementation of the draft Superintendent of Documents policy.
