Tribal College Libraries Join FDLP 

Three tribal college libraries joined the Federal Depository Library 

Program (FDLP) in November 2005. The new depository libraries are at 

the Little Priest Tribal College (Nebraska), the Fort Peck Community 

College (Montana), and the Salish Kootenai University (Montana). They 

will receive primarily electronic government documents to serve 

historically underserved populations. The addition of these libraries marks 

a new direction and effort for GPO to expand the public’s access to 

government information, and these libraries will serve as a model for other 

small libraries seeking to join the program. The libraries will also 

contribute new resources through interlibrary loan to the FDLP 

community and their patrons, such as Indian genealogy and tribal 

materials. 

The dying words of Chief Little Priest, the last great Warrior Chief of the 

Winnebago Tribe, were “There is nothing more I can do for you, be 

strong, and educate my children.” Little Priest Tribal College library 

director, Gretchen Healey, was the first tribal college librarian to join the 

FDLP. Their library also functions as the Winnebago Public Library 

serving the sovereign nation of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, who 

recently renamed themselves the Hocak (pronounced “Hochunk” Nation), 

as well as regional residents. Gretchen says that the new FDLP 

membership will provide the library with needed materials in a more 

timely manner. 

Salish Kootenai College’s D’Arcy McNickle Library also serves as the 

Tribal library for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. It houses 

the largest collection of library materials on the Salish and Kootenai 

peoples in Montana. The Library Director, Carlene Engstrom, looks 

forward to promoting these new Federal resources to the college faculty 

and staff, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Departments, and 

the Flathead Reservation at large. 
AN-v26-#11-12-12/15/05 

Fort Peck Community College is located in 

the town of Poplar, Montana, the capitol of 

the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in 

northeastern Montana. It also functions as the 

Fort Peck Tribal Library. It has a mission to 

provide for the educational needs of the 

Indians, to preserve their unique culture, 

history, and beliefs, and to foster a sense of 

pride. Anita Scheetz, the Library Director, 

says “I am thrilled to offer government 

documents to our patrons...I would like to 

thank everyone at GPO for reaching out to 

the Tribal libraries.” 

Montana's regional librarian, Jennie 

Burroughs at University of Montana, 

Missoula, took a keen interest in adding tribal 

libraries in her state. Jennie is excited about 

adding two new depository libraries in 

Montana. "These libraries and their 

outstanding librarians are a great asset to the 

FDLP and their communities. I look forward 

to working with them as they go through the 

process of becoming official depository 

libraries." 

Charles Bernholz, a regional librarian from 

the University of Nebraska, has been 

advocating for a closer relationship between 

the FDLP and tribal libraries since the Fall 

2003 Federal Depository Library Conference 

and Council meeting. He introduced the 

depository library community to the notion 

that tribal college libraries would be ideal 

candidates for depository status, as it would 

increase access to government information on 

reservations. 

GPO Chooses Digitization Compression Technology 

GPO has selected Tiff Group 4 compression 

technology for bitonal (black and white) 

images for the national digitization and 

preservation of hard copy and/or legacy 

documents. GPO conducted extensive market 

research and testing and evaluated industry 

trends in its selection of this compression 

technology. GPO also considered opinions 

brought forth from the Meeting of Experts on 

Digital Preservation. Both NARA and the 

Library of Congress utilize this standard in 

similar capacities. Tiff Group 4 was 

developed by International 

Telecommunication Union (ITU) and is 

considered the standard lossless compression 

scheme for bitonal images. Lossless 

compression reduces file size without 

reducing quality. Applying Tiff Group 4 

compression will decrease GPO's storage 

requirements and meets its requirements for 

the digital conversion of legacy documents. 

For additional information regarding GPO's 

digitization and preservation initiatives please

Last Shipping List Numbers for FY2005 

The FY2005 Shipping Lists end with the 

following numbers: 

Electronic 2005-0026-E 

Microfiche 2005-0357-M 

Paper 2005-0259-P 

Separates 2005-0026-S 

FY2005 numbering for microfiche was 

mistakenly continued after October 1, the end 

of the fiscal year. The last Shipping List with 

FY2005 numbering, 2005-0357-M, was 

shipped on October 31. FY2006 microfiche 

numbers began on November 1. 

Shipping Lists 2005-0251-P and 2005-0253-P 

through 2005-0258-P were canceled. The 

contents originally planned for these 

shipments were distributed under FY2006 

Shipping Lists. 

Integrated Library System (ILS) Update

Work continues daily on the muchanticipated implementation of the integrated 

library system (ILS). Usability and beta 

testing of the Web-accessible Online Public 

Access Catalog (OPAC), named Franklin, 

were completed in August 2005. Many 

changes were made as a result of the testing. 

Work is now focusing on the “Other Catalogs 

to Search” feature, which includes searchable 

subsets of the database such as the 

Congressional Serial Set, periodicals, and 

Internet publications. Problems with this 

functionality must be resolved before going 

live. Locate Libraries and New Electronic 

Titles features should be incorporated into the 

OPAC in December. 

The help screens and documentation are 

nearing completion. A security scan of the 

ILS was conducted and Information 

Dissemination (ID) staff is awaiting the final 

sign-off. 

Library Technical Information Services 

(LTIS) staff are using the ILS. Cataloging is 

done in OCLC and records are imported into 

the ILS daily. Data cleanup and database 

maintenance is now ongoing. Staff are 

creating holdings and serial check-in records 

for all Essential Titles (other titles will 

follow). The database contains more than 

500,000 records dating from July 1976, 

which will be accessible to the public through 

the online catalog.

Interagency Depository Seminar Announced for 2006 

The 19th Annual Interagency Depository 

Seminar will be held in Washington, DC 

from July 31, 2006 through August 4, 2006. 

During the weeklong seminar 

representatives from various Federal 

agencies will present an overview of their 

information products and activities as they 

relate to Federal depository libraries. A 

preliminary list of participating agencies 

includes: 

• Office of the Federal Register (NARA) 

• Department of Homeland Security 

• Bureau of the Census 

• Department of Health & Human 

Services 

• STAT-USA, Department of 

Commerce 

• Science.Gov 

• Government Printing Office 

- GPO Access 

- OPAC/CRM 

- Serial Set (history/process) 

Tours: 

• Senate Library 

• Library of Congress 

• Government Printing Office 

• Patent and Trademark Office 

Additional participating agencies and tours 

will be announced during the coming 

months. 

At the Interagency Depository Seminar, 

representatives from Federal Government 

agencies showcase their products and 

services. The seminar consists of 

presentations that focus on the content of 

and access to these products and services, 

interspersed with tours and question and 

answer sessions. It offers the opportunity 

both to acquire information and to discuss 

and exchange ideas with colleagues, agency 

representatives, and Information 

Dissemination staff at the Government 

Printing Office. The seminar, open to all 

depository library staff who would like to 

attend, will provide an opportunity for both 

new and experienced documents staff to 

review basic materials and learn about new 

products. Attendees with reference or public 

service responsibilities will find these 

sessions particularly useful. Attendance is 

limited to 60, so registration preference will 

be given to those outside the Washington, 

DC area and to those who have not 

previously attended the seminar. 

All attendees will be responsible for their 

own expenses for travel, lodging, and meals. 

Hotel information will be announced at a 

later date.

Communications Policy Being Developed 

Preliminary Survey Results Compiled 

In its efforts to communicate effectively with 

the depository library community, GPO’s 

Information Dissemination (Superintendent 

of Documents) organization recently 

surveyed the depository libraries on the 

avenues of communication they use to access 

Federal Depository Library Program 

information. The survey took place during 

November, 2005. 392 returns were 

completed, for an approximate return rate of 

30%. GPO thanks the respondents for their 

participation and for their many thoughtful 

comments. 

Information Dissemination staff are using the 

survey results in drafting a communications 

policy. This policy will establish conditions 

under which postings via various electronic 

communication mechanisms are used to 

communicate administrative information and 

announcements to Federal depository library 

staff and others with an interest in GPO’s 

information dissemination programs. 

The Internet, e-mail, and innovative 

applications have brought new methods for 

GPO to communicate expeditiously with 

Federal depository library staff. 

Administrative Notes is no longer the only 

means to convey timely information about 

new or revised policies and procedures, 

publicize new services, make announcements 

pertaining to operational matters, or address 

questions from the depository library 

community. 

In addition to Administrative Notes and the 

Technical Supplement (ANTS), GPO makes 

announcements via GPO-FDLP-L, posts 

announcements and answers to various 

electronic discussion lists, answers questions 

submitted through the online help system, 

and sends Really Simple Syndication (RSS) 

feeds of updates to the FDLP Desktop and 

What’s New on the GPO Access home page 

(http://www.gpoaccess.gov). 

GPO-FDLP-L Listserv 

Eighty-eight percent of the survey 

respondents indicated that they subscribed to 

the GPO-FDLP-L listserv, which has 

functioned as GPO’s official vehicle for 

communicating with depository libraries 

since November 2002. All depository 

libraries should have at least one staff 

member subscribed to GPO-FDLP-L. 

To subscribe, go to 

http://listserv.access.gpo.gov/archives/gpofdlp-l.html, click on “Join or leave the list,” 

and follow the instructions. 

GOVDOC-L 

Eighty-six percent of the survey respondent 

said they subscribed to GOVDOC-L, and 14 

percent said they did not. 

RSS Feed 

Only 16 percent of respondents said they 

used the FDLP RSS feed, and 84 percent said 

they did not. The RSS feed notifies users 

when a change is made to the FDLP Desktop. 

WEBTech Notes 

Sixty-two percent of the survey respondents 

said they used the WEBTech Notes database, 

which cumulates data from the 

Administrative Notes Technical Supplement. 

The fully searchable database, online at 

http://ww1.access.gpo.gov/gpoaccess/fdlp/too

ls/webtech.html, includes classification and 

cataloging changes, new item numbers, and 

other information pertaining to documents.

AN-v26-#11-12-12/15/05 

Online Help Service and Knowledgebase 

Because of inconsistent terminology and lack 

of an official name for the online help service 

and knowledgebase, this question caused 

considerable confusion among the survey 

respondents. In addition, many respondents 

identified problems with both the help service 

and the knowledgebase, including 

searchability, comprehensiveness, and 

timeliness. Thirty-nine percent of respondents 

said they used the knowledgebase, and 59 

percent did not. 

Administrative Notes 

Fifty-eight percent of the survey respondents 

replied in the negative to the question asking 

whether Administrative Notes could be 

discontinued, in favor of alternative 

electronic communication vehicles such as 

the FDLP Desktop and the GPO-FDLP-L 

listserv. Thirty-nine percent replied in the 

affirmative. 

On the related question, whether 

Administrative Notes could be online only, 

and the paper publication discontinued, 43 

percent replied in the affirmative, and 22 

percent replied in the negative. 

Paper distribution of Administrative Notes 

will therefore be discontinued in 2006. Each 

issue will be available online, at 

http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/pubs

/adnotes/index.html, in HTML and PDF 

formats. The availability of each issue will be 

announced via GPO-FDLP-L. 

Administrative Notes Technical 

Supplement 

Sixty-six percent of the survey respondents 

replied in the negative to the question asking 

whether the Administrative Notes Technical 

Supplement could be discontinued altogether, 

pending development of other reports 

containing the same information. Thirty 

percent replied in the affirmative. 

On the related question, whether 

Administrative Notes Technical Supplement 

could be online only, and the paper 

publication discontinued, 41 percent replied 

in the affirmative, and 30 percent replied in 

the negative. 

The Administrative Notes Technical 

Supplement will continue to be published in 

paper as well as in online format through 

2006, pending development of alternative 

products. 

Training Opportunities 

This survey identified several areas in which 

training initiatives could be undertaken to 

familiarize depository staff with new FDLP 

information products. The Information 

Dissemination staff will be working to 

develop training opportunities in 2006.

Online Survey

The Superintendent of Documents is 

responsible for conducting the Biennial 

Survey of Depository Libraries. Required by 

Title 44, United States Code, section 1909, 

the Biennial Survey provides GPO with 

important information for administering the 

Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). 

All depository libraries should enter the 

answers to the survey questions using the 

Web application on the FDLP Desktop page

Item Selection Update Cycle for FY2006 Begins 

December 1, 2005: Instructions 

An opportunity to add item numbers to 

depository library selection profiles will take 

place in December 2005 and January 2006. 

From December 1 through January 31, 

depositories may make additions, which will 

take effect on April 1, 2006. The 2005 update 

cycle will follow existing procedures used for 

previous update cycles. 

GPO recommends that libraries review their 

current selections in terms of their 

communities' government information needs 

and change their selections accordingly. 

GPO strongly encourages libraries to select 

electronic information products whenever 

they are available, when they fit the library's 

collection plan for Federal Government 

information. 

The Update Cycle period is the only time that 

items may be added. Items may be dropped at 

any time. Adds will not take effect until April 

1. 

The next Update Cycle is scheduled to begin 

in June 2006. Details will be announced via 

the 

GPO-FDLP-L listserv. 

Complete information and instructions on the 

Item Selection Update Cycle appears on the 

FDLP Desktop, News and Updates, at 

http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/inde

x.html. 

Schedule: 

December 1, 2005 Selection Update Cycle 2006 begins. 

December - January Depository libraries evaluate selections. 

January 31, 2006 Deadline for submission of all additions. 

April 1, 2006 New selection profiles become effective. 

(Drops will be recorded and activated as soon as they are entered).

AN-v26-#11-12-12/15/05 

INSTRUCTIONS

Making Amendments to Selections 

Libraries enter their amendments to 

selections using the Web site Amendment to 

Item Selections on the FDLP Desktop Web 

site at: 

http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/tool

s/amendment.html. 

On this Web site, you will control the input, 

and the changes will be recorded 

instantaneously. 

You will need your depository library number 

and internal password to submit your 

additions or deletions. 

Contact Information 

To report inputting errors, request your 

password, get help with access, or to ask any 

other question about the update cycle, please 

contact the GPO online help service at: 

http://gpo.custhelp.com/cgibin/gpo.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php. 

To ensure that your question is routed to the 

correct area, please choose the category 

Federal Depository Libraries and then, under 

the subcategory DEPOSITORY 

MANAGEMENT, choose Annual Selection 

Update Cycle. 

NOTE: If you mistakenly delete an item 

number or select an item number that you 

really wanted to delete, you must contact 

GPO. Do not try to re-input the correct 

selection by entering another transaction on 

the Amendment to Item Selections Web 

form. 

Suggestions for Changing Formats 

If you want to change from paper to 

microfiche for dual distribution items, GPO 

suggests the following procedure to reduce 

gaps in holdings: 

1. Add the microfiche item during the 

update cycle. 

2. Once the new selection is distributed 

in April, delete the paper item. 

For example, to change the Federal Register 

selection from paper to microfiche, add item

0573-D in December or January, for 

implementation in April. Then use the Web 

Amendment to Selections form to delete item 

0573-C after you begin receiving microfiche 

copies. 

Items Distributed to All Libraries 

Titles distributed under item numbers 0154-

B, 0556-C, and 1004-E are distributed to all 

depository libraries whether your library 

selects these items or not. GPO will distribute 

other titles under these item numbers 

throughout the year if the informational 

content is deemed relevant to all depository 

libraries. Please do not drop these item 

numbers from your selection profile. 

Automatic Confirmation of Selections 

Automatic confirmation of the changes you 

input is a function of the Web application. If 

you enter your e-mail address along with 

your depository library number and internal 

password when filling out the online selection 

update form, an e-mail confirmation of your 

transactions should be sent to you. However, 

for your records you may want to print out 

and/or save the Web page confirmation that 

appears as soon as you hit the Submit button. 

When you save the file, change the file name 

extension from .cgi to .html to view the page 

in a Web browser.

Message to New Mexico State Library 

from

United States Senator Jeff Bingaman

November 15, 2005

I am proud to participate in this celebration to 

recognize the New Mexico State Library 

(NMSL) as the recipient of the 2005 Federal 

Depository Library of the Year Award. 

I would like to take this opportunity to 

congratulate Director Richard Akeroyd for 

his hard work in helping to attain this 

recognition. Richard, your devotion and 

commitment to the citizens of New Mexico 

are to be commended. Your outstanding 

accomplishments and contributions cast the 

highest reflections on you and the staff of 

NMSL.

The NMSL Federal Depository Library 

continually demonstrates extraordinary 

initiative and innovation in responding to the 

challenges that face many of the communities 

in New Mexico. By accepting the challenge 

to understand social and educational 

information issues, identify and define 

problems endemic with library services for 

those currently being underserved, and 

develop solutions to stimulate continuing 

education, the NMSL plays a significant role 

in helping to shape the future of our state. 

Through the success of technologically 

advanced programs such as the 

implementation of the Digital Archive 

Project, New Mexico News Plus, and Docs 

on Wheels, the NMSL continues to exceed 

the goal of the Federal Depository Library 

Program to ensure accessible and accurate 

distribution of government information 

throughout the rural and urban communities 

of New Mexico. Their dedication to the 

scholarly and research needs of libraries, 

students, teachers, citizen activists, and 

federal/state government policy makers is a 

testament to their ability to excel in public 

service program leadership.

I was pleased to have had the opportunity to 

express my support on behalf of the New 

Mexico State Library to the Director of the 

Federal Depository Library Program, Judith 

Russell, during the selection process, and I 

am delighted to join with all of you now in 

recognizing it as the 2005 Federal Depository 

Library of the Year.

Sincerely, 

Jeff Bingaman 

United States Senator 

Ric Davis, Acting Director of Library Services and Content 

Management; Federal Documents Librarian Laurie Canepa, 

with crystal award at Federal Depository Library of the Year 

reception, October 16, 2005.

An aide to Senator Jeff Bingaman and Library Director Richard 

Akeroyd, with Federal Depository Library of the Year certificate.
