Dear Depository Librarian:
 
Public access to Government information in all formats begins with public
awareness of its existence.  Every depository library is encouraged to
promote its collection not only to the library's primary clientele but
also to the public.
 
In some libraries, the depository emblem which states that "public access
to the Government documents collection is guaranteed by public law" has
faded or been inadvertently removed from some library doors and windows.
An optional new emblem, "U.S. Government Information ... Electronically,"
has been prepared for libraries to post alongside the required traditional
decal.
 
To assist you with your publicity efforts, the Government Printing Office
(GPO) has assembled a new package of promotional materials for depository
libraries.  Enclosed you will find:
 
        1. Door decals (standard)       2
        2. Door decals (electronic)     2
        3. Window decals (standard)     2
        4. Window decals (electronic)   2
        5. Reproducible art (standard)  2
 
        6. Reproducible art (electronic)        2
        7. Depository pin               1
