                      FDLP ANNOUNCEMENT SERVICE INAUGURATED

LPS has inaugurated the FDLP Announcement Service to provide depository
libraries with time-sensitive information relating to the Federal Depository
Library Program. Through this free email service, LPS will provide depository
libraries with timely announcements relating to the program, including but not
limited to notices on:

   * New issues of Administrative Notes and its Technical Supplement posted to
     the FDLP Desktop;

   * Meetings (Depository Library Council, Federal Depository Library
     Conference, Interagency Seminar);

   * Superintendent of Documents requests for withdrawal of documents;

   * Operational matters, e.g., Item Selection Update Cycle, problems with
     shipping lists.

The announcements will contain brief text, and, when applicable, URLs linking to
full texts on GPO Access.

To subscribe, go to <http://listserv.access.gpo.gov/>. Click on <Online Mailing
List Archives>. Click on <GPO-FDLP-L>. Click on <Join or leave the list> and
follow the instructions.

Those who sign on will automatically receive the FDLP email announcements.
Initially, LPS will continue to post the same announcements to discussion lists
such as GOVDOC-L and DocTech-L, but ultimately the FDLP Announcement Service
will be the sole online source for these notices. LPS strongly encourages all
depository libraries to subscribe to the service.

The FDLP Announcement Service is not a discussion list, as only list owners may
post messages. Any comments or questions should be sent to <askLPS@gpo.gov>.
