Preface

Background

At its October 1994 meeting, the Depository Library Council to the Public Printer endorsed the self-study questionnaire proposed by the Library Programs Service (LPS). This set of written questions can assist documents staff as they critically review their operations. It also gives them the opportunity to assess their compliance with Title 44, United State Code (U.S.C.), chapter 19, and GPO regulations in advance of a possible on-site audit. This self-study can be a strategic assessment document which will walk the documents staff through issues such as collection development policy, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), public access computer work stations, etc., which need careful consideration.

Since late 1994, when a draft self-study was printed, LPS solicited comments from the depository community and requested that depositories being inspected during 1995 and 1996 voluntarily complete the self-study. Many of these depositories filled out the questionnaire. LPS evaluated their responses and modified and condensed the self-study.

Purpose

This self-study has been developed as a component of the GPO's inspection of each depository library's Federal documents operation "where need is indicated" under 44 U.S.C. Section 1909. Depositories will perform a mandatory self-evaluation that, in some cases, may replace an on-site inspection.

Citations to appropriate GPO-supplied publications which contain the rules and regulations for the Federal Depository Library Program appear at the end of the self- study document.

The self-study format and questions apply to all types of depositories, with the following two exceptions:

• Weeding - Federal agency and Federal court depository libraries weed through the Library of Congress' Exchange and Gift Division under 44 U.S.C. Section 1907 rather than through a Regional library. Highest appellate court libraries also have different weeding guidelines.

• Free Access to the public to use depository documents in the library is required of all depositories except those depositories designated as the library of the highest appellate court in the state under 44 U.S.C. Section 1915.

Procedures

Each calendar quarter, LPS will request self-studies from a group of libraries in chronological order from the date of last inspection. A copy of the self-study will be provided by the depository to LPS and to your Regional library. Federal agency and Federal court depositories will correspond directly with LPS. Inspectors will evaluate each self-study. A telephone interview with the documents librarian will take place to clarify any issues.

LPS will determine whether an on-site inspection is warranted based on the self-study, follow-up questions, consultation with the Regional library, and specific criteria including recent staff and facility changes, results of prior inspections, and, if applicable, any complaints from depository library users.

In preparing the library's response to this self-study, use this template to indicate your narrative answers below each statement or question or check off any answers that call for such a response.

The template resides on GPO's World Wide Web site. The URL is http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/selfstud.html. This form is also available in ASCII text via the Federal Bulletin Board by dial-in on (202) 512-1387; telnet to fedbbs.access.gpo.gov; or FTP from ftp://fedbbs.access.gpo.gov/gpo_bbs/guidline/selfst96.txt . Your Regional library, neighboring depository, or GPO can provide this template on a diskette if you have no other means to obtain it electronically.

The library's completed self-study must be be transmitted to GPO by mail.

OPTION: Any depository may conduct a self-study at any time. LPS will review the self-study and provide a report to the library explaining perceived strengths, weaknesses, corrective actions, and recommendations. Such a "desk audit" review and report is not a substitute for any future on-site inspection, but is an option open to all depositories, e.g., for a new documents librarian's orientation, planning purposes, etc.

Self-Study

The following self-study must be completed by depository library staff and returned to LPS and the Regional library by the due date provided in the notification letter. As noted earlier, an evaluation of this self-study may result in an on-site inspection.

Note: Where appropriate the library may append various attachments such as relevant handouts, organizational charts, portions of or complete documents department or library annual reports which pertain to depository operations, etc.

2. Do the library staff or patrons use GPO Access services? Does the library have Internet World Wide Web capability to allow staff and patrons to access GPO's home page and other Web-accessible government information resources? Does the library have dial-in access instead?

3. Does the library select CD-ROMs? What are the most frequently used?

4. What maps, if any, are selected, e.g., topographic for state, DMA, NOAA, CIA, etc.

5. Does the library have a written depository collection development policy or a government documents component of a general collection development policy? If so, attach a copy of the policy, or relevant portions of a library-wide policy, to this self- study.

6. Describe any collection development coordination and depository resource sharing efforts that the library attempts with area depositories in order to eliminate unnecessary item duplication and insure adequate coverage of the area.

7. How often are regular reviews of documents selections conducted (zero-based item number selection)?

8. Does the library have suitable index tools to effectively access the resources in the documents collection? Below is a listing of many government issued and commercial indices and services. Of course, not all of these tools are appropriate for all types of depositories. Check off the information products and services to which the library has access. If on-line access is readily available to staff for some indices, note that fact. Add any relevant titles which the library owns or has access to on-line.
