2. Although many academic libraries have merged their reference services, they continue to view and treat their FDLP collection more as a format (like music, maps, film/video, newspapers, and microforms collections) that is housed and shelved differently than their subject-based collections. This focus derives, in part, from Federal Depository Library Program. Instructions to Depository Libraries. Revised 2000 (Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, 2000). Available at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/pubs/instructions. See also, John A. Shuler, “Libraries and Government Information: The Past is Not Necessarily Prologue,” Government Information Quarterly 19, no.1 (2002): 1–7.
3. The use of FDLP collections in academic libraries is documented in the Biennial Survey of Depository Libraries. The 2001 Survey reports in Question 39 “310 patrons “on average” use “depository collections or services each week.” The overall average for depository collections is 201 patrons per week, Biennial Survey of Depository Libraries, 2001 Results (Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, 2003), p. 21.
