GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE
Public Meeting for Federal Depository Libraries, Federal, State
and Local Agencies, and Others Interested in a Demonstration of GPO
Access (Pub. L. 103-40), the New Online Federal Register, Congressional
Record, and Congressional Bills
The Superintendent of Documents will hold two public meetings for
Federal Depository Libraries, Government agencies, and others
interested in a demonstration of the Government Printing Office's
Access system, provided under the GPO Electronic Information Access
Enhancement Act of 1993 (Pub. L. 103-40).
Two meetings will be held on Friday, October 21, 1994. The first
meeting, scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon, will be for Federal
depository libraries only; the second, scheduled from 1:30 p.m. to 3
p.m., will be for Federal, State, and local agencies, and all other
interested organizations. Both sessions will be held at the California
State Library, Library-Courts Building, 914 Capitol Mall, Room 500,
Sacramento, California.
Under Public Law 103-40, the Superintendent of Documents
implemented on June 8, 1994, a system of online access to the Federal
Register, Congressional Record, and Congressional Bills databases. The
purpose of the meetings is to demonstrate the online services made
available under the initial phase of the implementation of the Act and
to solicit comments from users interested in the system.
The initial online services include access to a WAIS Server at GPO
offering the following databases: the Federal Register (including the
Unified Agenda), Volume 59 (1994); the Congressional Record (including
the History of Bills), Volume 140 (1994); the Congressional Record
Index, Volumes 138-140 (1992-1994); and Congressional Bills from the
103d Congress (1993-1994). The Federal Register and Congressional
Record databases provide ASCII text files, with all graphics included
as individual files in TIFF format. Both databases are updated daily.
Brief ASCII text summaries of each Federal Register entry are also
available. The Congressional Record Index provides ASCII text files
with all graphics included as individual files in TIFF format. The
Congressional Bills are available as ASCII text files and in the Adobe
Acrobat PDF file format. Users with Acrobat viewers can display and
print page facsimiles of Congressional Bills.
Individuals interested in attending either session should contact
Tom Andersen at the California State Library by telephone on 916-653-
0085, or by e-mail at tanderse@library.ca.gov.
Michael F. DiMario,
Public Printer.
