askLPS Inquiry Service Launched 

On April 6, 1998, LPS began accepting questions from depository library staff and from the 

public via the askLPS service. askLPS is an automated inquiry service to make filing inquiries 

and directing e-mail to the appropriate LPS staff member easier. The askLPS home page is 

located at <http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/asklps.html>, or you can e-mail your 

question to <asklps@gpo.gov>. 

There are five components to askLPS: 

 The electronic inquiry form: There is a choice of two forms. One form is password 

protected for use by documents staff. The second form does not require a password. All 

inquiries sent via askLPS will receive an e-mail response. Priority consideration will be 

given to electronic inquiries over inquiries made via fax and mail. 

 WEBTech Notes, a searchable database for postings made in Administrative Notes and 

Administrative Notes Technical Supplement, dating back to 1991. A downloadable 

version of WEBTech Notes in .dbf format is also available on the Federal Bulletin Board. 

 FAQs and News: a listing of answers to frequently asked questions from the depository 

community. Also includes an area for announcements that in the past have been posted 

on GOVDOC-L. Updated weekly or more frequently as needed. 

 FDLP Contacts page: links to the FDLP Administration Contacts Web page. 
AN-v19-#06-4/15/98 

 Federal Depository Library Directory: searchable database of the official GPO directory 

of Federal depository libraries. Also provides a password protected form for libraries to 

submit corrections for their directory information via GPO Access. 

The electronic inquiry form may be accessed from the askLPS home page. All inquiries receive 

an immediate response acknowledging receipt of the inquiry. LPS staff attempt to answer the 

inquiries as quickly as possible. LPS’s goal is to respond to each inquiry within ten business 

days. When the question requires an answer from another agency and LPS does not receive a 

response within the ten-day period, LPS will send the inquirer an interim reply. 

Inquiries received via askLPS will be given priority status for research over inquiries submitted 

via fax, telephone, or regular mail. However, fax will continue to be an important vehicle for 

inquiries when a photocopy of additional material (i.e., title page, introductory page, etc.) is 

necessary. Focusing on askLPS as the primary route for inquiries should help LPS to track the 

inquiries as they arrive, and should also minimize the duplication of effort to research inquiries. 

Users are encouraged to check the WEBTech Notes and the FAQ & News sections before 

submitting a question, as the question may already have been researched and the answer posted 

to the database.

Your Opportunity to Join NTIS Electronic Image Files Pilot Project 

This is an invitation to your depository library to get connected and be a part of a new 

cooperative project. 

In December 1997, an Interagency Agreement (IA) was signed by GPO's Superintendent of 

Documents and the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) to establish a pilot project 

through which NTIS will furnish U.S. Government information products in electronic image 

format to the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). 

In order to assure free public access to these products the GPO, as the administrator of the 

depository program, and NTIS have agreed that products delivered as part of the project will be 

subject to the rules surrounding the use and accessibility of material in the depository program. 

There will be no restrictions on the use of the NTIS electronic image files within the library or on 

a local institution network. 

Broadening Participation 

NTIS has been working with the depository library staff at the University of California at Davis 

(UC Davis) on the initial phase of this pilot project. Discussions between NTIS and the 

University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) have also been initiated. With an agreement now in place, 

GPO would like to identify additional libraries interested in participating in the pilot project. 

Discussions between NTIS and GPO concerning the timing for the addition of other libraries 

have led to agreement to add four more libraries by mid-year. Additional libraries, up to a total 

of 20, will be added on a phased-in basis. 

The project planners would like to include a variety of libraries in the pilot, ranging from 

technologically higher-end institutions to libraries that have an interest in obtaining government 

information products from NTIS, but might not have high-tech equipment. Project planners are 

especially interested in working with an institution that could help us determine the minimum 

automation requirements for a library to successfully participate. 

Staff from GPO, UC Davis and NTIS will provide libraries with technical guidance needed for 

successful participation. We envision employing the model that has been used with GPO's 

Gateway libraries, with volunteers acting as mentors for the "new recruits." 

How the Project Will Work 

UC Davis depository library identifies and requests documents electronically using NTIS' 

OrderNow Online <chaos.fedworld.gov/ordernow/>. When a request is received, NTIS prepares 

a TIFF Group IV image file and transmits it to a server at UC Davis. 

NTIS' OrderNow Online covers only government information products cataloged and indexed 

during the previous three months. However, NTIS is working on enhancing the Technical 

Reports File on their Web site, which covers the last 10 years, to include digital image 

information. This would give project participants access to an expanded number of documents 

in image form. 

3 
AN-v19-#06-4/15/98 

Another factor that will expand the range of documents included is NTIS' recent initiation of 

"front end" scanning, in which documents are scanned as part of the cataloging and indexing 

process. Documents from a variety of agencies numbered in the "PB" series are part of this new 

work procedure. 

Project planners are determining the technical requirements for participation. UC Davis 

employed the extensive automated resources of a university to supply sophisticated viewing 

access via a Web page and high-speed printing using a Xerox Docutech printer. If our 

experience with new technology tells us anything, it's that there are multiple ways to achieve the 

same end. Some depository libraries will choose to emulate the UC Davis model; others may 

find different solutions. 

The image files are very large and might not display on a standard personal computer. At a 

minimum, participating libraries would need at least one personal computer that meets or 

exceeds GPO's "1997 Recommended Specifications for Public Access Work Stations in Federal 

Depository Libraries" <www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/mintech.html>. 

Additionally, depository librarians who wish to participate will need to spend some time 

planning for the implementation and monitoring the status of the project. Some technical 

background, or access to staff with basic telecommunications or computer background, is a plus. 

During the Federal Depository Library Conference there will be a program about the pilot project 

on Wednesday, April 22 from 2:00-3:15 p.m. in the James Room of the Washington National 

Airport Hilton Hotel. The speakers will be Kris Vajs/NTIS; Linda Kennedy/UC Davis; Duncan 

Aldrich/UNR and Sandy Schwalb/GPO.

Documents Data Miner Enhances Access to FDLP Information 

The LPS is pleased to announce the release of Documents Data Miner (DDM), a collection 

management tool for Federal depository libraries. Documents Data Miner is a partnership of 

Wichita State University, the National Institute for Aviation Research, and the Federal 

Depository Library Program (FDLP). 

Documents Data Miner will give depository librarians, FDLP staff, and other users electronic 

access to various FDLP administrative information that has previously been available on a 

limited basis. 

Files from the Federal Bulletin Board downloaded into the Data Miner's search engine include: 

List of Classes of United States Government Publications (LOC), Current Item Number 

Selection Profiles for Depository Libraries, and the Federal Depository Library Directory. The 

List of Inactive or Discontinued Items will be added to the DDM when it is available. 

The Documents Data Miner will be available at the FDLP Administration site at 

<www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/fdlppro.html>. It will be linked off the Tools and 

Partnerships pages. 

The direct URL to the DDM at Wichita State University is <kronos.niar.twsu.edu/govdocs/>. 

Documents Data Miner Features 

1. List of Classes and Discontinued Search Options 

2. Combined Item Lister and List of Classes 

3. Multi-Option Union Listing: Geographically by State, Region or Distance 

4. Exportable Custom Database of Selected Profiles 

5. Depository Directory Listing with E-Mail Functionality

should be forwarded to Nan Myers at (316) 978-5138 or <myers@twsuvm.uc.twsu.edu>. 

During the Federal Depository Library Conference, there will be a program on the Documents 

Data Miner on Monday, April 20 from 3:45 to 5:00 p.m. in the Farragut Room of the 

Washington National Airport Hilton. Nan Myers (WSU), John Ellis (NIAR), and Cathy 

Hartman from the University of North Texas will be speakers. 

Depository Web Site URL Survey Coming in May 

The Library Programs Service, in partnership with the American Library Association 

Government Documents Roundtable (GODORT) Federal Documents Task Force, will conduct a 

Web survey in May to ask depository libraries to supply the URL for their depository Web sites. 

GPO’s goal in conducting this survey is to enhance access to depository libraries and their 

collections by the public and the depository community. Hot-linked URLs in the depository 

library directory will enable anyone with access to the Web to navigate quickly to any depository 

library’s Web site. 

ALL libraries are encouraged to respond to this Survey, even if to answer that they do NOT have 

such a Web site. The Survey will be conducted during May, 1998. 

LPS is interested in capturing ONLY those URLs that contain significant information about the 

each library’s depository services, i.e., a documents department URL or a library Web site page 

with significant depository-related information. Do not include the high-level general library 

Web page unless it is the one and only Web page with significant depository information. 

The following applications on GPO Access will include these URLs: 

1. Locate Federal Depository Libraries by State or Area Code, at 

<www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/adpos003.html>. 

2. The Library Directory feature of the askLPS service (see related article). The Library 

Directory will include the official GPO directory information (names, addresses, 

telephone numbers, etc.) of all Federal depository libraries. 

The directory component will have two features, both of which will include depository Web site 

URLs: 

a. A searchable database of depository libraries’ directory information. 

b. A feature allowing depositories to view their own directory records, and to update them 

using their LPS-issued passwords. 

6 
AN-v19-#06-4/15/98 

The results of this survey will benefit the public and the FDLP community. Your cooperation is 

appreciated.

GPO and Department of Energy Provide Information Bridge to 

DOE Reports via World Wide Web 

The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) has entered into an agreement with the Department 

of Energy (DOE) that will provide the public and the Federal Depository Library Program 

(FDLP) electronic access to Government-sponsored research. This partnership is established by 

DOE, Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), and GPO Library Programs 

Service (LPS). 

In December 1997, DOE and GPO signed an Interagency Agreement (IA) that will make 

available thousands of DOE reports in electronic image format, free of charge through the FDLP. 

Using World Wide Web technology, users will enter the DOE electronic dissemination system, 

known as "Information Bridge," through GPO Access. DOE Information Bridge will be

available at <www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dbsearch.html>. This gateway will provide a 

specially designed public view to the more than 23,000 DOE reports currently available 

electronically. 

A roll-out of the depository library version of Information Bridge will occur during the Federal 

Depository Library Conference on Wednesday April 22 at 8:30 a.m. in the James Room at the 

Washington National Airport Hilton. 

Dr. Walter Warnick, Director of OSTI stated, "The public will be able to access from this web 

site DOE funded research and development output since January 1996 and reports will continue 

to be added on a daily basis as research information is released." 

"We are very pleased to be working with DOE on this ground-breaking partnership," said 

Francis J. Buckley, Jr., GPO's Superintendent of Documents. He added, "This project is 

significant because librarians and the public can access these reports directly through GPO 

Access. This is a major step in the transition to a more electronic Federal Depository Library 

Program."
