Depository Library Council

  • 1.  Depository Library Council

    Posted Oct 10, 2014 06:38 AM

    All,


    The Depository Library Council to the Public Printer is an important advisory and communication body which works closely with both GPO and the depository community to ensure that U.S. government information is freely available to the American public.  Each year five people are appointed to DLC and ALA generally nominates a slate of candidates.  DLC is one of the most visible and vital opportunities available to  government information librarians to affect change and to improve the public’s access to and use of the resources of the federal government.


     The official call for nominations has not been issued by GPO yet for this year, but it’s not too early to consider this.  If you are an ALA member and are interested in putting your name forward or in more information please contact Barbie Selby (bselby@virginia.edu).  


    We want to send another strong slate of candidates for the Public Printer to consider for DLC and hope you'll be a part of that!
