Administrative Notes Ceases Publication PDF Print E-mail
Written on Thursday, 28 January 2010

As the Federal Depository Library Program continues its evolution to an increasingly digital, dynamic environment, the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) is ceasing publication of Administrative Notes (AdNotes) in lieu of real-time updates through the FDLP Desktop.

AdNotes began in 1980 to inform the depository library community of policies, procedures, and news relating to the Federal Depository Library Program. It was first published in paper and and distributed to all libraries in regular depository shipments, along with an annual microfiche cumulation.

The final issue of AdNotes, which covers from September-December 2009, is available on the FDLP Desktop.

Historical editions of AdNotes (1996 through 2009), including the searchable cumulative table of contents, are archived in PDF format in the FDLP Desktop’s file repository.

GPO would like to commend Marian MacGilvray (an Administrative Librarian from GPO's Office of Education and Outreach and recent retiree) for her meticulous work as the editor of AdNotes during the past 30 years. GPO applauds Marian for her extraordinary efforts in making AdNotes such a success and an essential resource for all Federal Depository librarians.
