Four Libraries in the Midwest Partner with GPO to Preserve Government Information

WASHINGTON —Jerome Hall Library, Indiana State Library, and State Library of Ohio have expanded upon their Preservation Steward collections with the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO), and Allen County Public Library signed a Memorandum of Agreement with GPO to become a Preservation Steward. To help libraries meet the needs of efficient Government document stewardship in the digital era, GPO has established Preservation Stewards to support continued public access to U.S. Government documents in print format. These libraries contribute significantly to the effort to preserve printed documents. Through the agreement, many libraries also serve as digital access partners providing digital access to Government information. More than 60 libraries currently serve as Preservation Stewards across the United States.
