ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES Newsletter of the Federal Depository Library Program --------------------------------------------------------------------- February 15, 2000 GP 3.16/3-2:21/04 (Vol. 21, no. 04) --------------------------------------------------------------------- [Handout] Depository Administration Branch Update January 2000 Davis-Bacon Online from GPO Access General Wage Determinations Issued Under the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (item 0777-B-04 through 0777-B-10, L 36.211:), will become available via GPO Access early this spring. The Department of Labor is providing the official data and the Superintendent of Documents is making the information available in a searchable WAIS database as part of the Federal Depository Library Program Electronic Collection. Davis-Bacon on GPO Access will be available to depository libraries and public users at no charge, and with no restrictions on reuse or redissemination of the data. STAT-USA Password Change Libraries registered to access the STAT-USA paid database through the FDLP will need to use their new password, beginning February 1, 2000. Information on the global password change was distributed to the libraries in the shipment boxes during the week of January 3- January 10, 2000. If you do not receive the password change information, please contact Robin Haun-Mohamed by e-mail at . Libraries are reminded they must abide by the agreement with STAT-USA for depository access to the paid database. The user must be in the library to access the database and the library is limited to one user at a time on the database. USAPAT on DVD USAPAT on CD-ROM (item 0260-E, C 21.31:) is still scheduled for conversion to DVD format, but the change will not occur with the first issue of 2000 as initially announced last fall. Libraries will continue to receive the CD-ROM version until the DVDs are ready for distribution. At that time the agency will redistribute the information on a DVD to insure the whole year is available in the new format. Microfiche Contract Default GPO has declared a default on Wilkins Systems, Inc. for programs B354-S and B562-S. All the titles originally sent to Wilkins for microfiche conversion have been returned to GPO for reprocessing. Some of the material has already been processed and distributed to the libraries but it is not clear from Wilkins records which specific titles have already been distributed. Therefore, some libraries may receive duplicate copies of these publications. Treat the duplicates as secondary copies and process as directed in the Instructions to Depository Libraries.
