Target Audience: All public services, technical services, or reference/research librarians working with government information Learning Outcomes: 1. Participants will be able to identify trends in the dissemination of government information. 2. Participants will be able to evaluate best models and cost-effectiveness in the trend toward electronic dissemination in relation to their library's access to, use, and publication of government information.
A panel of experts will discuss the impact of new federal and state government distribution technologies (including the new GPO mass digitization program and commercial vendor products), new methods of processing and resource sharing in depository publications (including new methods of linking catalog records using durable URLS for government information), and how research methods in the new digital government resources have changed.
