| Abstract: | This article surveys the origins and development of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP), and analyzes the program's future prospects in a primarily electronic age. It argues that while the FDLP as a geographically distributed method for providing access to government publications is becoming an anachronism, the depository program still has a future if it focuses on service in aiding users looking for government information. |
