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 [email protected].
Michael F. DiMario,
Public Printer.
