Abstract
Tracking Government Information is a crowdsourcing project to track removed and modified government information and resources, and to point people to archived copies of content whenever possible. While libraries in the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) are familiar with depository materials and are aware of the safeguards in place for digital depository materials, it can be harder to understand the impact of the currently changing government information landscape on information and data beyond the depository collection. Additionally, many librarians are receiving questions from users on what is happening with government information and how to find materials that they used to use that are no longer online. This presentation addressed current events, how the work of FDLP libraries intersects with broader public access concerns, and how depository librarians can play a role in identifying, documenting, and responding to risks to federal information that fall outside the scope of traditional depository holdings. We discuss the value of collaboration between depository and non-depository efforts to support a more comprehensive national strategy for government information access.
