Promote the FDLP at Your Library with the Easy As FDL Video
Tuesday, 04 November 2008
Using our theme, "Easy As FDL: Free Information, Dedicated Service, and Limitless Possibilities",
this video demonstrates what makes Federal depository libraries so
unique and essential to the American public. People who are dedicated
to and knowlegeable about the FDLP were interviewed and asked to express
thier opinions about Federal depository libraries and how the FDLP benefits the American public.
This video is available for you to distribute as you
choose. Post it to your library’s Web site, various social media sites,
social networking sites, or in your presentations. You may also
ask local government offices and educational institutions to place it
on their Web sites.
This is the first of several upcoming FDLP promotional videos. GPO will be using this and subsequent videos in staff presentations and for distribution. It is a highly effective tool when used in conjunction with the new marketing plan in our efforts to promote the FDLP.
GPO wishes to thank the stars of the first video for their participation:
When the download is complete, you will need to unzip the package. (For windows, double click on downloaded package, then click on "extract all". For Mac, control-click on downloaded package, navigate to "open with" in the contextual menu, then click on "Disk Utility.app".)
Upload the "easyasfdl" folder to your web server (the file and folder names will be slightly different depending on which resolution you decided to download).
In order for the video to function properly, all three files must be kept together in the same folder. Example HTML code is provided in the readme.txt file.
In an effort to strengthen security and re-emphasize depository responsibilities in using this important service, STAT-USA, with assistance from LSCM, will assign new passwords.
The FDLP emblem or signage on or near depository library buildings is used to demonstrate that Federal depository libraries provide free, public access to U.S. Government information resources. GPO’s ongoing review of the 2007 Biennial Survey of Depository Libraries indicates that dozens of libraries and selective housing sites do not have the emblem or signage posted on or near their library buildings.
At the request of several libraries in the FDLP, GPO staff have obtained an update on the printing and publication of issues of the Congressional Record (Bound) Index and Daily Digest (X 1.1: item nos. 0993-B and 0993-C).
GPO has begun to create separate item numbers for the online only (EL) format of the U.S.
Congressional Committee Hearings and Prints and related miscellaneous
publications, known as "Y 4's". Read more.
