F e d e r a l D e p o s i t o r y L i b r a r y P r o g r a m ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES Newsletter of the Federal Depository Library Program October 15, 2001 Vol. 22, no. 15 -------------------------------------------------------------------- SELF-STUDIES AND INSPECTIONS: STATUS REPORT Staff shortages on the inspection team have continued to cause delays in processing self-studies and in physical inspection of libraries. The sole inspector at the beginning of the year, Charles Bradsher, was joined in January by Walter Zoller. Bradsher left GPO in June. Regina Koo was recruited as a new inspector in August, and a third inspector should be on-board in November 2001. No inspections are currently scheduled, pending completion of training for new staff members. Inspection staff have been focusing on the review of self-studies from 1999 and 2000. When these have been completed, inspection trips will be scheduled for this set of self-study libraries as necessary. The next set of self-studies will be called for from depository libraries last inspected in 1994 in Arkansas, California, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The call for self-studies from these states is not definitely scheduled at this time, but may occur in January 2002. Of course, libraries may begin their self-studies at any time, using the online template at .
