黑料不打烊 Libraries will celebrate 140 years of membership in the U.S. Government Publishing Office鈥檚 (GPO) Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) with a program and exhibition in February. The FDLP ensures that the public has access to federal documents in participating libraries across the country.
The 140th anniversary celebration will take place in the Peter Graham Scholarly Commons, 114 Bird Library, on Feb. 7 from 1-2:30 p.m. Jim Bradley, interim director of the GPO, will give the keynote presentation.
鈥満诹喜淮蜢 Libraries are proud to serve as a federal depository library,鈥 says Dean of Libraries and University Librarian David Seaman. 鈥淭he ability to offer our patrons and the community unfettered access to these vitally important government documents is a responsibility that we take seriously. We are honored to be celebrating 140 years with the FDLP and in partnership with GPO.鈥
An accompanying exhibit on fourth floor of Bird Library will highlight the wide variety of materials the libraries have received as a member of the FDLP since the University鈥檚 early years. Documents selected for display represent all three branches of government and showcase the variety of formats and subject matter of these documents.
An exhibit in the Learning Commons on the first floor of Bird Library will focus on “SU Libraries Depository Property Stamps鈥140 years of Federal Depository Participation.” The exhibit will highlight how the libraries have marked and identified federal documents from 1878 to the present day. The variety of styles and markings illustrates the amount of detail and effort required to process these items.
If you need an accommodation to fully participate in the event, please contact聽John Olson at jaolson@syr.edu by Feb. 1.
