Bernholz, Charles D. "Federal Government Documents: Dead or Alive." Government Information Quarterly 1 (2008): 57-60.
Addresses the shift from print to digital in government document printing. The Government Printing Office has pledged to digitize all federal documents dating back to the Federalist papers. They have yet to do so and Congress is less than enthusiastic about paying to digitize all of those documents. Cites statistics showing that a large number of households do not have high speed Internet access which likely means that most citizens get their government information from their depository library in the first place. Makes a good case for the continuing need for document librarians to help citizens locate hard to find government documents.
