The US Government Printing Office takes great pride in its mission of Keeping America Informed on the three branches of the Federal Government. GPO works with the library community to provide free, open and permanent access to the documents of our democracy. For nearly 200 years, this has occurred through the Federal Depository Library Program. The public can visit any of the 1,250 Federal depository libraries throughout the country and access information on virtually any topic.
I agree with these comments that have been posted so far. You need to start by addressing what users will get out of the FDL. Also, show some patrons and students using gov doc material with the librarians, including using the GPOAccess website. Also, the video is a tad lengthy and could be shortened by a minute, but still get the point across.
I agree with what the commenter above said. Definitely start by talking about what kinds of government information is available so that folks will know why they should care about FDLP. Also, not sure why the first publication pictured is Am Jur. That's not a government publication!
I'd strongly recommend flipping the content of this video and lead off with Cindy Elkins talking about the types of questions that can be answered at an FDL, then Mary Alice and the others highlighting material (Adventures of Echo the Bat, etc) that's available. Then end with background on the program. Hook people first, then explain. Finally, the end URL should be to the Depository Directory and not GPO Access. Though you should make videos about GPO Access!
