Warren Public Library has been a selective Federal depository library since 1885.
The goal of the program is to make government publications available to the general public. Depository libraries receive, without charge, publications issued by all three branches of the federal government and make those available to their patrons. A selective depository, like Warren, receives only those documents which it chooses, and not everything published by the U.S. Government.
Most of the government publications at Warren Public Library are available
in the Reference Department and electronically via the Internet. A list of
FDLP official Publications si provided below. Many print items are cataloged
and can be located by searching the library's computerized card catalog.
Other items are filed in vertical files or shelved in the government document
section of the government document section of the Reference Department.
Electronic Substitutions for Print Versions of Depository Publications
GPO Access Online Resources: A-Z Resource List
"A depository is permitted to replace tangible versions with electronic
equivalents provided the electronic version is complete, official, and permanently
accessible. GPO Access databases on the Substitution List: Official FDLP Permanent
Full-Text Databases meet these requirements."
