 New Pathways Services Product Launched:
List Federal Agency Internet Sites

	The Government Printing Office is happy to announce an addition to the
GPO Access Pathway Services: List Federal Agency Internet Sites.  The List is
based on agency entries in the U.S. Government Manual and links users to those
agencies' Internet sites.

	A partnership between GPO and the Louisiana State University, LSU
Libraries has made this new Pathway Service possible.  LSU Libraries developed
and maintain the agency listing.  The partnership with GPO should give this
excellent agency list increased visibility as it joins the suite of Pathway
Services on the GPO Access Web site.

	To get to this new service at GPO:

		1.	Go to the Superintendent of Documents Web page, at:
http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/index.html

		2.	Scroll down to the third subcategory, Locate Government
Information Products.  List Federal Agency Internet Sites will be the second
item listed or:

		3.	You can go directly to its location at

	GPO extends its thanks to Louisiana State University, specifically to
Mary Jane Ledvina, Government Documents Librarian at LSU Libraries, who
maintains this list.

	The List of Federal Agency Internet Sites is one of several
partnerships GPO has entered into during the past six months.  GPO anticipates entering into additional partnerships
in the future to leverage the skills of the depository library community.
