As the spring 2020 DLC Virtual Meeting neared, we were in the midst of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. Council wanted to hear from the depository library community and provide an opportunity for them to share their stories of how they were working, facing challenges, and coping during this incomparable time. In an hour long Open Forum, the depository community willingly spoke up to address the five questions that were posed to them.

This report is a summary of the Open Forum: Depository Libraries in a Time of Stay-at-Home Orders. The report was written by the Digital Only Depository Libraries Working Group and accepted by the Depository Library Council.

The Digital Deposit Working Group (DDWG) was established to explore “current and future needs related to digital deposit – both dissemination of content and acceptance of content by GPO.” Depository Library Council accepted the DDWG report for consideration at the spring 2022 Depository Library Council meeting. Upon consideration, Council did not accept all the recommendations of the DDWG, therefore this report varies slightly from the one originally submitted to the DLC.
