GPO and the Naval Postgraduate School are pleased to announce their recent partnership to provide access to the Homeland Security Digital Library (HSDL). HSDL is a database of over 50,000 non-classified Presidential directives, policy and
national strategy documents, as well as specialized resources related to Homeland Security. Additional information about HSDL is contained in a presentation by Greta Marlatt at the Fall 2007 Federal Depository Library Conference.
Prior to this partnership, HSDL was only available to Federal, state, and local government officials; research institutions; and the U.S. Military. All Federal depository libraries are now eligible to add HSDL to their item selection profiles. Academic and Federal agency libraries will have the option of gaining access through IP authentication. All other depositories will be eligible for access via a password.
A validation form must be signed by your library director and faxed to GPO at 202-512-2300 before you receive access to HSDL. Once verified, your library will receive instructions on how to set up an account from GPO.
The validation form is available from the FDLP Desktop. By faxing the signed form, your library has agreed to the terms on the form, which include:
- Login information is for library staff only and should not be given to patrons.
- You may not allow organizations outside your library to connect to HSDL using your account and password via your library's computer network.

 GPO has partnered with The University of Illinois at Chicago's (UIC) Daley Library to provide virtual reference service to the public. UIC is working with almost twenty other academic, public, and state Federal depository libraries to provide chat and e-mail service through Government Information Online: Ask a Librarian (GIO).
GIO is an example of a successful collaboration and represents how depository libraries are focusing on services to provide access to government information.
This service partnership is consistent with GPO's strategic direction and the Depository Library Council's vision of serving users at their point of need.
GPO is interested in collaborating with other depository libraries to provide "point of need" access to Federal information. If you would like to propose such a partnership, please submit a partnership inquiry form to GPO.

The entire list is searchable by agency keyword as well.
