DESCRIPTION
This presentation focuses on the discovery, collection, and dissemination of rare or historical government documents in a digital format using free online repositories such as Internet Archive, Google Books, Project Gutenberg, or the Registry of U.S. Government Publication Digitization Projects in the context of replenishing a depository affected by a natural disaster. Negative and positive aspects of these tools will be examined, as well as a discussion on how depositories can promote and disseminate digital government documents to patrons and the community at large. Presented by Rebecca Blakeley at the 2008 DLC Conference.
