The Federal Depository Library Program offers electronic versions of depository shipping lists via the Federal Bulletin Board.

The electronic shipping lists provide a mechanism for identifying past and forthcoming depository shipments made to the Federal depository libraries. Shipping lists are uploaded twice weekly. These shipping list files can be imported and exported from spreadsheets and databases.
