  • 1.  Federal gov docs catalog records

    Posted Aug 16, 2024 11:19 AM

    Hi,

    If you catalog your federal docs how do you receive your records and what are the pros and cons of your choice? GPO announced that they will end the Cataloging Record Distribution Program (CRDP) at the end of March 2025 so it's time to start looking at options again.

    Thanks,

    Amanda

    Hi Amanda,

    I use FDLP Data Manager. I appreciate the Marc Record search interface, screenshot (hopefully) below, which allows me to search several different ways and when the records arrive, they can be viewed individually before downloading.
