The U.S. Government Printing Office has the responsibility to ensure that the resources it distributes to Federal depository libraries are made accessible to the general public. The Public Access Assessments program is the primary way that GPO fulfills this requirement. A Public Access Assessment (PAA) is a review by GPO staff of an individual library’s Federal depository operations and services.
