The LSU Law Library has received three new titles from the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) to add to their Preservation Steward collection.
To help libraries meet the needs of efficient government document stewardship in the digital era, GPO has established Preservation Stewards like the LSU Law Library to support continued public access to historic, print-format U.S. government documents.
The additional materials at the LSU Law Library include the historic and current volumes of the “U.S. Statutes at Large,” “U.S. Reports,” and “U.S. Code.”
The LSU Law Library has been a Preservation Steward since 2019, and in 2022 signed an addendum to add the historic and present-day collection of “Code of Federal Regulations of the United States of America, Title 3, The President,” and the present-day collection of all other “Code of Federal Regulations of the United States” titles.
Along with the LSU Law Library, three other libraries in the country recently added materials to their Preservation Steward collections, including the Case Library at Colgate University, University of Idaho Library, and Arthur Lakes Library at Colorado School of Mines.
The GPO is responsible for the production and distribution of information products and services for all three branches of the federal government, including U.S. passports for the Department of State as well as the official publications of Congress, the White House, and other federal agencies in digital and print formats. GPO provides permanent public access to federal government information at no charge through www.GovInfo.gov, and partnerships with approximately 1,100 libraries nationwide participating in the Federal Depository Library Program.
