Since 1980, Administrative Notes has served to inform the depository library community of policies, procedures, and news relating to the Federal Depository Library Program. It was first published in paper (initially on a monthly basis and later bimonthly, with additional issues as required) and then went online-only. When distributed in paper, each issue was distributed to all libraries in regular depository shipments, along with an annual microfiche cumulation.

Today, the information that has been published in Administrative Notes is not as timely as new Internet technologies have emerged and matured (e.g., email alerts, RSS). Therefore, after a 30-year run, the Administrative Notes newsletter will cease with the November-December 2009 issue. The FDLP Desktop will be the primary communication vehicle about the Federal Depository Library Program. The Administrative Notes archive, including the searchable cumulative table of contents, will remain on the FDLP Desktop.
