 How and When to Contact the Library Programs 

Service

[From Federal Depository Library Manual, chapter 1, revised 1996.]

 Depository libraries are required to submit their inquiries on a Depository Library Inquiry 

Form, GPO Form 3794 (see Exhibit J of the Instructions to Depository Libraries) via mail or fax. 

 The Depository Library Inquiry Form greatly facilitates LPS' ability to respond to the majority 

of questions submitted. Additional copies of the Depository Library Inquiry Form can be 

obtained by writing to: 

U.S. Government Printing Office 

Library Programs Service (SLLA) 

Washington, DC 20401 

 Some problems or questions are not suitable for the Depository Library Inquiry Form and 

should be handled differently: 

1)Certain questions or services (e.g. obtaining copies of missing shipping lists) are best handled at 

the local or regional level. Depository libraries should contact a local or regional 

depository library if available, instead of contacting LPS. 

2)Complex problems should be addressed to the specific unit within LPS that deals with that area 

of responsibility. Correspondence directed to LPS should always include the depository 

library number, business phone number, fax number if available, and best time to call. 

 Contact points within LPS for specific areas of responsibility are listed below:

Depository Library Council (DLC) 

Introduction

The purpose of this web site is to provide interested parties with a historical compilation of 

information dealing with the Depository Library Council to the Public Printer. 

Citations to the Depository Council's Reports to the Public Printer and the written transcripts have 

been provided since these publications could not be included. A list of Depository Library 

Council members and their date of service is included. Also included are separate lists in 

alphabetical and chronological order and a separate file of the chairs of the Depository Library 

Council. The geographic location and date of each meeting is also listed. 

The largest part of this collection consists of the formal Depository Library council 

recommendations and their responses from the Government Printing Office. It has been difficult 

to locate some of the early recommendations. However, in all cases, the responses have been 

found. 

A transcript of the 1993 Chicago Conference has also been included. 

If you have questions concerning this list or can provide any of the missing information, please

The Depository Library Council to the Public Printer was established in 1972 and held its first 

meeting in 1973. The deliberations of the first fourteen meetings held between February 1973 and 

April 1979 are covered in the four Reports to the Public Printer. They were provided to 

depository libraries under the SuDocs number: GP 1.35: 

Formal transcripts were produced for some of the early meetings. They were provided to 

depository libraries under the SuDocs number: GP 3.30: 

Starting with the Fall 1978 meeting, formal recommendations were presented to the Public Printer 

at the close of each Depository Library Council meeting. These recommendations were answered 

with the issuance of formal responses. These responses were usually provided to the Council at 

the beginning of the next meeting. Some responses were given orally and were found in the 

written minutes, while others were published in Public Documents Highlights and Administrative 

Notes. During the period from Spring 1991 to Fall 1992 the use of formal recommendations was 

discontinued and they were replaced with discussion papers and topics. Starting with Spring 1993 

the use of recommendations was continued. 

The recommendations have been split into two groups, Spring and Fall. With each set of 

recommendations and responses, the reader Will find the file size if they wish to download the 

information. 

At present, indexing is only available through keyword searching of each set of recommendations 

and responses. A more detailed index to all the meetings is not yet completed.

 GPO Access Server Address Changes

[The following text appeared on the GOVDOC-L listserv.]

 Effective on April 15, 1996, all of the GPO Access Federal Register databases and all 

historical databases (those with information from 1994 or earlier) will be accessible ONLY through 

separate dedicated WAIS servers. 

 If you are accessing the online databases via the World Wide Web, dial-in, telnet, or a 

gateway you do not need to worry about these changes. If you are using a WAIS client however, 

you will need to make several adjustments. 

 Due to the high usage of the 1995 and 1996 Federal Register databases, GPO has dedicated a 

server (frwais.access.gpo.gov) for those databases, including the 1995 and 1996 Unified Agendas. 

This will significantly reduce the search response time for all of our databases (by approximately 

50%). 

 At the same time, all historical databases (1994 and earlier) have been relocated to the server 

at the GPO Access Storage Facility in Owensboro, KY (gpoaccess.occ.uky.edu). 

 The address changes are as follows: 

 - 1995 and 1996 Federal Register and Unified Agenda Databases: 

 Old Address: wais.access.gpo.gov 

 New Address: frwais.access.gpo.gov 

 - 1994 Federal Register and Unified Agenda, and Other Historical Databases: 

 Old Address: wais.access.gpo.gov 

 New Address: gpoaccess.occ.uky.edu 

 In order to assist you with these changes, detailed instructions are provided below. Please 

make these changes immediately so you can continue to access these official government 

documents. (After April 15th, the databases will NOT be accessible via the old server address.) 

 Also effective on April 15, 1996, TIFF files will no longer be available online for the 1995 

Congressional Record and the 1995 Federal Register. Graphics are available through the Acrobat 

PDF files. (NOTE: TIFF files will continue to be available for the U.S. Code, 1994 Congressional 

Record and 1994 Federal Register since there are no PDF files for those databases.)

 Is Your Depository's Entry Correct?

 Please take a moment to check your depository's entry in "A Directory of U.S. Government 

Depository Libraries." Let us know if there have been any changes since the directory was issued 

in July 1994, especially in the Congressional District number or telephone area code. The 

information in the directory is disseminated in electronic form, and LPS updates the database 

periodically, but can only do so with your input.
