hi – 30jul

Hi. I’m back and exhausted. I hope you had an okay time reading my posts from the DNC and don’t think I totally embarassed librarians everyplace. I got some nice feedback, some good media exposure for me and some of the political issues libraries have been dealing with, asked Howard Dean how to advance rural technology initiatives, and met some wonderful fellow bloggers. Please check out some of the posts and pictures if you haven’t already. I’ll be ramping up here quite slowly, since tomorrow is the all-day street fair in Rutland and guess who’s signing people up for library cards?

update on the GPO snafu

This was a happy announcement/email to come back to. The following was quoted from ALACOUN, the ALA Council listserv.

As you know, on July 22, 2004, a notice was posted to FDLP-L advising depository libraries that the Department of Justice had requested the withdrawal of five publications that were intended for internal use only.

In response to the Government Printing Office’s further inquiry into this matter, the Department of Justice has requested that I advise depository libraries to disregard the previous instructions to withdraw these publications. In making this request, the Department of Justice said, although these materials were “intended only for the internal training use of Department of Justice personnel and, as such, were inappropriately distributed to depository libraries through an administrative oversight,” the Department has determined that these materials are “not sufficiently sensitive to require removal from the depository library system.”

Since 1995, GPO has issued recall letters for 20 publications at the request of the publishing agencies. Seven of these publications were recalled because they were for official use or internal use only, as occurred in this instance.

Both GPO and the Department of Justice regret any inconvenience resulting from the initial request for withdrawal.

hi – 25jul

Hi. I’m off to Boston for five days today. Updates here will be sparse after today. Updates on the DNC blog should be much more frequent.
