    In January 2022, the Director of the U.S. Government Publishing Office charged a Task Force to examine the feasibility of an all-digital model for the FDLP. Among many issues, the Task Force is examining the potential impact on access to government information that could arise if the FDLP increases services and support for government information in digital formats. For this Friday's chat, Shari Laster and Scott Matheson will lead a discussion about access to government information and the effects on you and your patrons that may happen if changes are made in the program. 

    To learn more about the Task Force, please visit https://www.fdlp.gov/project/task-force-digital-federal-depository-library-program.
