THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
In the Fall 1996, the Depository Library Council recommended to GPO that a
model Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between GPO and depository
library partners be developed. The Depository Library Council suggested that
various issues be addressed in the MOU, including:
* Information stored on partner sites is the property of the federal government
and the people of the United States.
* All modifications or enhancements of stored files must not alter accessibility.
* All modifications or enhancements must be documented.
* Format of files should comply with industry standards.
* Backups of stored files must be maintained.
* Contingency plans must be made for cases where a library or agency partner
becomes unable to continue the partnership. The partner provide GPO with
the stored files, including any enhancements or modifications made to the
files.
* Adherence to ADA compliant formats should be a priority.
* GPO's role as the coordinator of the partnership program should be clearly
outlined.14
