GPO Names University of North Texas with Best Federal Depository Website

WASHINGTON —The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) honors University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries for having the best website in the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) for 2025. This is the third library to ever receive the award, which was created to recognize the creativity and the ways libraries are providing easy access to Federal Government information on their websites. The library has digitized many Federal Government documents and archived web pages that might otherwise have been lost and made them accessible to the public on its sleek and easy-to-navigate website.

On behalf of GPO, congratulations to UNT Libraries on this award.”

"We are thrilled to receive this designation,” said University Librarian and Vice Provost Sian Brannon. “The University of North Texas Libraries Government Information Connection is a long-standing, highly-used service and our FDLP website serves as an easy-access gateway to Federal information from multiple agencies. I am thankful for the dedication of our Government documents employees and the phenomenal efforts they put in to ensure our constituents are able to get the information they need.”
