Cross posted to the listservs GOVDOC-L, FEDLIB, and LLSDC-L. It has come to the attention of our Library staff that effective October 1, 2006, the U.S. General Services Administration Library (http://www.llsdc.org/sis/federal/fll_directory.htm#GSA) has been permanently closed and its resources are be disbursed throughout the agency. It is not yet clear what will happen to its collection of Federal Depository Library materials, which technically, I believe, belongs to the Federal Depository Library Program under the Superintendent of Documents, not GSA. The Library (Depository Library No. 0092C) is currently listed as selecting and receiving 11% of all federal publications available in the Depository Program. The library is also listed (http://www.llsdc.org/sourcebook/about-union-histories.htm) as being one of the few sources in the world for certain compiled legislative histories to U.S. public laws (we were seeking one such compilation - that's how we found out). Helen Davenjay at GSA (http://www.gsa.gov/Portal/gsa/ep/contactus.do) is the current contact for questions about the Library.
