Depository Access to Online Subscription ServicesIn accordance with Title 44, United States Code, Federal agencies are required to provide depository libraries access to their information products that are within the scope of the FDLP. This often means making a product available through the Program for no fee while it might also be for sale. The following services are accessible via the Internet to depository libraries at no cost. Passwords are required and in some instances there may be restrictions on the number of simultaneous users. Libraries must protect the passwords and may not disclose them. For questions about depository passwords, the designated depository coordinator or the library director should contact the GPO Customer Contact Center at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/help/index.html or by calling National Climatic Data Center Online Document LibraryThe National Climatic Data Center is providing no charge access for the Federal depository libraries to access their Online Document Library. Libraries may access several files with climatological data via this controlled access site. The National Climatic Data Center's Online Document Library includes some titles that are available free of charge and others that require payment. The titles that require payment can be accessed with a user ID and password provided for depository use. The user must be in the library to access the database, and libraries must protect the user ID and password. At this time there is no limitation on the number of concurrent users able to access the database. The database is freely accessible to academic users with a .edu or a .k12.xx.us domain, so depositories in academic libraries should be able to use these publications without a password. The fee-based titles included in the National Climatic Data Center Online Document Library are listed below and may be accessed with a user ID and password. To access these titles, please use the alternate URLs listed below:
