“We want showcase how our libraries have and are embracing a digital FDLP,” said GPO Superintendent of Documents Scott Matheson. “The California State University library’s website of plain language, clear organization and easy navigation made them a great choice for this inaugural award. I encourage all FDLP libraries to collaborate and learn from some of the examples we have seen with this year’s winner.”

“CSU Stanislaus has been a member of the FDLP since 1964 and has transformed from print to primarily online collections alongside the GPO through the last three decades. Being recognized as the first Federal Depository Library Website of the Year is a particularly meaningful honor in the current digital age,” said Library Dean Ron Rodriguez.
