GPO is requesting comments on the first module, Public Services, of an update of the Self-Study of a Federal Depository Library (Federal Depository Library Manual, Supplement 3,  Revised 1999). The new Self-Study of a Federal Depository Library is designed to enable depository coordinators to become more familiar with their depository operations and to determine areas needing improvement or change.

The Public Services module contains a list of questions on depository public services, suggestions on evaluating your responses, and a section on tracking progress where change is warranted. An overview of legal authorities, a list of GPO and library resources for review, and definitions of terms are also included.

We encourage you to review the module, and we welcome your comments. The deadline for comments is Monday, August 18, 2008. We will give your feedback careful consideration as we continue the Self-Study revision process. Read the full article for the document and comment form.
