6.14 Important for Library Administrators

  • Libraries are encouraged to mainstream government publications into the overall library collection, as appropriate; government publications collections do not have to be maintained in Superintendent of Documents number order.
  • Library administrators should consider requesting and reviewing statistics concerning their depository and government publications collections. Among the statistics commonly found on library-related surveys are:
    • Number of monographic titles cataloged by format, i.e., paper, microform, tangible electronic, and others;
    • Number of monographic volumes added by format;
    • Number of serial titles cataloged by format;
    • Number of serial issues added by format; and
    • Number of records maintained or updated.
