Module 1: Processing U.S. Documents

Introduction: the Basics

[*] As a federal depository, your library selects materials (items) distributed by the Government Printing Office (GPO)
[*] Items are sent by GPO based on an item profile prepared by each depository library
[*] Each library maintains a current list of the items selected, called an item list (or profile)
Item lists for every depository library are available online from the Federal Depository Library Program Home Page  
Libraries may maintain the item list in a variety of formats, though a computerized check-in database is preferable to card systems
