ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT

Technical Supplement To Be Discontinued in Paper
In October 1998, the Depository Library Council to the Public Printer made a recommendation to discontinue or consolidate "traditional" LPS products in tangible formats. As the Council noted, frequently updated online tools are more useful than print editions that are often dated by the time they are printed and distributed. LPS has begun implementing this recommendation by changing the List of Classes from quarterly to semiannual and reducing the number of copies distributed free of charge to each depository from two to one.
Effective December 31, 1999, LPS will discontinue the paper edition of Administrative Notes Technical Supplement. The Technical Supplement (item 0556-C, GP 3.16:3/3:) will continue to be available for download from the Federal Bulletin Board at http://fedbbs.access.gpo.gov/libs/webtechn.htm; or as a searchable database at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/webtech.html;.
This change does not apply to Administrative Notes (item 0556-C, GP 3.16/3:3-2:), which will continue to be distributed in paper format to all libraries. Please make any comments on this proposed change to Robin Haun-Mohamed, Chief, Depository Administration Branch, by phone at (202) 512-1002 or by e-mail at rhaun-mohamed@gpo.gov. |
