ASERL Friends: As youâll see below, Ithaka S+R have
been awarded a contract from GPO to identify sustainable models for the FDLP of
the (near) future. Over the next few weeks they will be posting concepts
to the project website â fdlpmodeling.net â and
seek input from a wide cross-section of parties. They have asked that I
forward the information below to you-all hoping you will participate in this
modeling exercise. The exercise is expected to last for approximately six
months. Questions about this endeavor should be
directed to Roger Schonfeld at Roger.Schonfeld [at] ithaka.org.
Thanks for your consideration of this request. --jeb From: Roger Schonfeld
[mailto:Roger.Schonfeld [at] ithaka.org] Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Government Printing
Office, Ithaka S+R is launching a project that will develop sustainable models
for the Federal Depository Library Program in the 21st century. The Program
plays a critical role in making federal government information available to the
American public, preserving it, and providing services to help the public and
specialized user communities to make effective use of government information.
Weâre currently reaching out to libraries of all types â public, government,
academic, and law libraries, and both participants and non-participants in the
Program â to alert you of the launch of this project. We hope that ASERL
members will choose to engage with us regularly during the projectâs six-month
duration, to ensure that your experience and perspective is incorporated to the
greatest extent possible. Engaging the community â including
non-participating libraries that may rely on depository libraries in providing
government information services to their constituents as well as members of the
Program â is a priority for this project. We will rely on the input of the
library community in our efforts to model a FDLP that meets the needs of
depository libraries as well as of the broader library community and those they
serve. Towards this end, weâve just launched a website â fdlpmodeling.net â to serve as a venue for
community engagement, providing updates on the status of the project, offering
a variety of mechanisms for community input, and sharing drafts and interim
deliverables for comment. Weâd encourage you to visit the site, learn about the
project, and share your thoughts with us at this early stage. While youâre
there, please subscribe to our RSS feed or sign up for email updates so you can
be alerted of new posts. And of course, please share this information with any
colleagues or others who might be interested. We hope to hear from you over the course
of this project, either via fdlpmodeling.net or
directly by email. Kind regards, Roger Schonfeld & Ross Housewright Ithaka S+R Roger C. Schonfeldâ Twitter: @rschon |
