RECOMMENDATION 5
To preserve the relevance and viability of the FDLP, the Panel recommends that GPO
continue to collaborate with depository libraries and the library community to
develop a national strategic plan for the program that gives libraries the flexibility
and tools they need to provide permanent public access to government information
in the digital age. Once GPO and the depository libraries have developed a vision for
the future direction of the FDLP, it would be appropriate to conduct an analysis of
the advantages and disadvantages of maintaining the geographic structure of the
depository library system in an era where access is not tied to state and
congressional district boundaries.
RECOMMENDATION 6
To ensure the Publication and Information Sales program continues to play a role in
information dissemination and is able to recover costs, the Panel recommends that
GPO continue to aggressively research and expand into new markets.
To implement this recommendation, GPO should:
* explore opportunities to recover the costs of developing mobile apps and other
derivative products from federal agencies;
* continue market research to determine agency and customer needs and services
GPO could provide, such as e-Books and e-Magazines; and
* continue intensive marketing of storage and distribution operations to fully utilize
available space and maximize revenues.
