Subject:      Annual Item Selection Update Cycle Begins June 1, 2006
Content-Type: text/plain

An opportunity to add item numbers to depository library selection profiles
will take place in June and July 2006.  From June 1 through July 31, 2006,
depositories may make additions, which will take effect on October 2, 2006.
GPO recommends that libraries review their current selections in terms of
their communities' government information needs and change their selections
accordingly.

GPO strongly encourages libraries to select electronic information products
whenever they are available, when they adhere to the library's collection
plan for Federal government information.

The Update Cycle period is the only time that items may be added. Items may
be dropped at any time.  Adds will not take effect until October 2, 2006.

Complete information and instructions on the Annual Item Selection Update
Cycle will be posted on FDLP Desktop, News and Updates, at:
http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/index.html.

June 1, 2006            Selection Update Cycle 2006 begins.
June-July 2006  Depository libraries evaluate selections.
July 31, 2006           Deadline for submission of all additions.
