The Task Force on a Digital Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) is currently convening. We’d like your help in answering the question of whether the FDLP can and should move to an all-digital program. The Task Force has been charged to (1) define the scope of an all-digital FDLP (2) examine the current landscape in Federal Depository Libraries, FDLP-related operations at the Government Publishing Office (GPO), and the dissemination of publications by Federal Agencies (3) Study the feasibility of a digital FDLP and (4) make recommendations as to how to implement and operate such a program, should that be the recommendation.

This survey should take 3-5 minutes to complete, and we appreciate your feedback.
