The 22nd Annual Interagency Depository Seminar will be held in Washington, DC. Representatives from a variety of Federal agencies will present an overview of their information products and services as they relate to Federal depository libraries.

A detailed agenda will be posted at a later date. The presenters and presentations will be similar to those at the 2008 seminar.

At the Interagency Depository Seminar, representatives from Federal Government agencies showcase their products and services. The seminar consists of presentations and tours that focus on the content of and access to these products and services, interspersed with question and answer sessions. Participants have the opportunity both to acquire information and to discuss and exchange ideas with colleagues, agency representatives, and Government Printing Office staff. The intended audience for the seminar is for new and experienced documents staff.

Advance registration is required, but there is no fee to attend the seminar. Attendees are responsible for their own expenses for travel, lodging, and meals.
