2006 Fall DLC Notes

I have finished typing up my notes from the Fall 2006 Federal Depository Library Conference:
http://weblib.lib.umt.edu/faculty/burroughs/2006FallDLC.pdf

Some of the key news includes:
  • NTIS is exploring the idea of extending free access to full-text electronic publications to depository libraries.
  • There were robust discussions of digital deposit, metadata, retrospective cataloging, and regional-selective issues.
  • Browse Topics is being updated (the beta version is available for review).
  • The Future Digital System (FDSys) is on track for a late 2007 release.
