SLA Friends,

 

As there has been discussion recently re: the EPA library and Bush's
proposed budget cut issues on this list, I thought you might be
interested in this post I received this morning.

Subject: [FAFLRT:919] GPO Launches Web Harvesting Pilot Projects

 

With the advent of the Internet and other electronic dissemination
methods, the trend in recent years is that Federal Government
publications are posted directly to the web. To ensure these digital
publications are included in the Federal Depository Library Program
(FDLP) and the Cataloging and Indexing Program, GPO has launched two
simultaneous web harvesting pilot projects.

During the pilots, each contractor will conduct a series of crawls on
the Environmental Protection Agency's websites using technologies and
other harvesting tools to identify and harvest publications that fall
within the scope of the FDLP that are not yet included in GPO's
electronic collection.

The web harvesting pilots will test different technologies and
methodologies as a first step in developing long-term harvesting
capability for GPO, which will be built in conjunction with the
implementation of GPO's Future Digital System.

Work is scheduled to begin in early March 2006, and GPO will share the
results of the pilot projects periodically during the six-month period.
