Oregon Federal Documents Regional Collection Survey

In order to make decisions about the retention of titles for Oregon's Regional Federal Depository Collection, the State Library is conducting a survey to gather data about preferences for the geographic location of tangible collections of federal government publications.  Recognizing all types of libraries and staff use federal government publications, we welcome all feedback and encourage multiple survey responses from Oregon libraries. We particularly want to hear from library staff who working in collection management, reference and instruction, and interlibrary loan services.

Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WHHVGDV    It should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. The survey will close on January 30, 2023.


More details about this survey
The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) is a program coordinated by the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) that distributes federal government publications free of cost to designated libraries<https://ask.gpo.gov/s/fdldsearch?type=state&state=Oregon> in Oregon, providing free access for all users to this information. The State Library of Oregon serves as the Regional Depository Library and works with Regional partner libraries<https://www.oregon.gov/library/collections/Pages/Federal-Government-Publications.aspx> to ensure the comprehensiveness and integrity of a tangible (print, microfiche, electronic media) FDLP collection in Oregon.

GPO is now offering more options for Regional Depository Libraries to select online versions of federal government publications in lieu of printed versions. For more details, see policies on Regional Online Selections<https://fdlp.gov/regional-online-selections> and Regional Discard<https://fdlp.gov/regional-discard> on the GPO website.

Titles are made eligible for Regional online selection or discard based on the location of FDLP libraries who enter into partnership with GPO to select and/or preserve tangible publications. For Oregon, these libraries must be located in the West National Collection Service Area<https://fdlp.gov/about-the-FDLP/national-collection-service-areas/west-national-collection-service-area> (NCSA).

In order to make decisions about the retention of these and other titles for Oregon's Regional Federal Depository Collection, the State Library is conducting a survey to gather data about preferences for the geographic location of tangible collections of federal government publications.
