Some Microfiche Publications Converted to Online Format Only
[ PLEASE NOTE: This information is OUTDATED and provided here for research/historical information ONLY ]

Attention documents librarians:
In the October 15, 1997 issue of the Administrative Notes, the Library Programs Service (LPS) announced a list of titles currently distributed in microfiche format for which an online electronic source has been identified. LPS prepared this list to solicit comments prior to discontinuing distribution of these titles in microfiche format.
After discussion at the fall 1997 meeting of the Depository Library Council in Clearwater Beach, Florida, LPS has decided to postpone acting on this proposal until the criteria for identifying appropriate tangible product titles has been more fully developed and publicized.
When considering online resources for distribution to the depository libraries solely in electronic online format, LPS staff look for resources that meet the following specific criteria. The title must be available on a Government web site that has a significant amount of content, including both current and back issues. The title cannot be a reference aid. In evaluating titles for online electronic delivery only, we consider the number of libraries selecting a title. Generally, only titles selected by 500 or less libraries are considered. If an online resource has a value associated with timely delivery, such as newsletters and announcements of hearings, online is very likely more timely than distribution of the material in microfiche format.
LPS will be working in consultation with Council on this issue but if individual librarians have specific suggestions, please direct them to:

[Original Administrative Notes and Web posting below - See subsequent notice above]

LPS announced in July 1997 that a listing of products that would be discontinued in tangible format would be published in early fall (see Depository Administration Branch Update: 6/97, Administrative Notes, v. 18, no. 10, 7/15/97, p. 22).

Discontinuing certain tangible products when reliable electronic alternatives are available is one of the actions identified as feasible in two reports: "Transition Plan, FY 1996 – FY 1998" and the "Study to Identify Measures Necessary for a Successful Transition to a More Electronic Federal Depository Library Program."

Following is a list of microfiche titles to be replaced by Internet-accessible products. Comments may be directed to:

Robin Haun-Mohamed
Chief, Depository Administration Branch
rhaun-mohamed@gpo.gov
phone: (202) 512-1071
fax: (202) 512-1636

Comments must be received by December 15, 1997. Elimination of a title in microfiche will be reconsidered if that action would have a negative impact on serving the public.
