**[Preface]{.smallcaps}**

**Background**

At its October 1994 meeting, the Depository Library Council to the
Public Printer endorsed the self‑study process and initial questionnaire
proposed by the Library Programs Service (LPS). This set of written
questions is designed to assist documents staff as they critically
review their operations. It also gives them the opportunity to assess
their compliance with Title 44, United State Code (U.S.C.), chapter 19,
and GPO regulations in advance of a possible on‑site audit. This
self‑study can be a strategic assessment document which will walk the
documents staff through issues such as collection development policy,
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), public access
computer work stations, etc., which need careful consideration.

**Purpose**

This self‑study has been developed as a component of the GPO\'s
inspection of each depository library\'s Federal documents operation
\"where need is indicated\" under 44 U.S.C. Section 1909. Depositories
will perform a mandatory self‑evaluation that, in some cases, replaces
an on‑site inspection.

Citations to appropriate GPO‑supplied publications which contain the
rules and regulations for the Federal Depository Library Program appear
at the end of the self‑study document. The self‑study format and
questions apply to all types of depositories, with the following two
exceptions:

-   Weeding ‑ Federal agency and Federal court depository libraries weed
    > through the Library of Congress\' Exchange and Gift Division under
    > 44 U.S.C. Section 1907 rather than through a Regional library.
    > Highest appellate court libraries also have different weeding
    > guidelines.

-   Free access to the public to use depository documents in the library
    is required of all depositories except those depositories designated
    as the library of the highest appellate court in the state under 44
    U.S.C. Section 1915.

**Procedures**

Each year, LPS will request self‑studies from a group of libraries in
chronological order from the date of last inspection. A copy of the
self‑study will be provided by the depository to LPS and to the
appropriate Regional library. Federal agency and Federal court
depositories will correspond directly with LPS. Inspectors will evaluate
each self‑study. A telephone interview with the documents librarian will
take place to clarify any issues. All depositories will receive a
Self‑Study Evaluation report.

LPS will determine whether an on‑site inspection is warranted based on
the self‑study, follow‑up questions, consultation with the Regional
library, and specific criteria including recent staff and facility
changes, results of prior inspections, and, if applicable, any
complaints from depository library users.

Some questions have yes-no answers, in others, choices are indicated or
a narrative response is requested. Add sufficient narrative to all
questions so an inspector reading the self‑study will more fully
understand the library\'s operation. Guidance for preparing the
self‑study can be found on the FDLP Administration home page at:
\<www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/selfstudy/\>.

In preparing the library\'s self‑study, use the template provided on
GPO\'s World Wide Web site at
\<www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/selfstud.html\>. Download the template
to a word processing system, input responses below each question, print
the completed self-study, and mail it to LPS.

OPTION: Any depository may conduct a self‑study at any time. LPS will
review the self‑study and provide a report to the library explaining
perceived strengths, weaknesses, corrective actions, and
recommendations. Such a \"desk audit\" review and report is not a
substitute for any future on‑site inspection, but is an option open to
all depositories, e.g., for a new documents librarian\'s orientation,
planning purposes, etc.

**Self‑Study**

The self‑study must be completed by depository library staff and
returned to LPS and the Regional library by the due date provided in the
notification letter. As noted earlier, an evaluation of this self‑study
may result in an on‑site inspection. Note: Where appropriate the library
may append various attachments such as relevant handouts, organizational
charts, portions of or complete documents department or library annual
reports which pertain to depository operations, etc.

The library\'s completed self‑study must be transmitted to GPO by mail.
