GATEWAY CONNECTIONS TO GPO ACCESS

The depository libraries listed on the next pages offer local
gateway
connections to GPO Access, the Government Printing Office's
electronic
dissemination service. GPO Access provides online access to the
Congressional Record, the Federal Register, the full text of all
published
versions of bills introduced in Congress, the U.S. Code, and many
other
government information sources.
Through these gateways, the Federal Depository Library Program
offers
24-hour free online access to Government information via the
Internet.
