FDLP Internet Use Policy Guidelines |
[ Originally published in Administrative Notes, v. 20, #02 - 1/15/99] |
These guidelines are effective January 15, 1999 ( revised March 2003 ) . All depository libraries must offer the general public free access to online Federal Government information provided through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). This follows the same principle of free access that governs the use of traditional depository materials, as provided in Section 1911 of Title 44, United States Code. Depository libraries should have a written access policy that addresses these issues regarding obtaining FDLP information on the Internet:
Further guidance, particularly concerning service support issues, is found in "Depository Library Public Service Guidelines for Government Information in Electronic Formats," Administrative Notes, v. 19, no. 11 (9/15/98), pp. 5-6, and in the most recent "Recommended Specifications for Public Access Workstations in Federal Depository Libraries," in the June issue of Administrative Notes. |
