Digital access and preservation remained at the forefront across several venues of Government Publishing Office (GPO) activity throughout 2018.

Robert Tapella was nominated to serve as the agency’s director again; he previously served as director from 2007 to 2010 and since then as professional oversight staff of the Committee on House Administration (CHA) of the U.S. Congress, heading a review of Title 44 of the U.S. Code, the statute regulating the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) and government printing. This review led to the introduction of the FDLP Modernization Act of 2018, which would broaden the scope of the statute to encompass digital formats and digital preservation explicitly and expands collaboration among federal agencies in content management. It passed quickly through the House Rules Committee yet was not brought to a vote after much discussion in CHA during the 115th Congress.

END OF AN ERA

The Federal Digital System (FDSys), GPO’s second-­generation digital access platform, was retired in December 2018 after nine years of operation. It was superseded by ­govinfo.gov, which offers a streamlined, intuitive, and more responsive search interface, and extended browsing and search filters allow users to select documents by title, category, date, committee, and agency/author. New functions include "Related Documents," a cross-referencing feature enabling lateral navigation among documents with statutory or other functional relationships, and the "Documents in Context" feature, which facilitates hierarchical navigation between chapters in the same title. Its extensive metadata infra­structure, digital signature document authentication, and future-proof preservation methods that ensure continuity of content in evolving technology environments represent a large component of GPO’s initiative to obtain certification as a Trustworthy Digital Repository.

The complete series of the Federal Register is now available on the site. The project to digitize the 14,587 issues printed from 1936 to 1994 began in 2015 and employed optical character recognition (OCR) to expedite full-text searching. Twelve institutions joined the Federal Information Preservation Network (FIPNet) as Preservation Stewards and will digitize and curate permanent, online collections of select government publications.

GPO sought certification for FDSys in 2014–15, but the project was reoriented around govinfo upon its beta release in 2016. Jessica Tieman, GPO’s National Digital Stewardship resident, conducted an internal audit of operational policies and procedures and organizational support and infrastructure, comparing them with the criteria outlined in ISO 16363:2012, the international standard defining practices for assessing trustworthy repositories. ISO 16363:2012 enumerates 109 criteria classed into three categories: Organizational Governance, Digital Object Management, and Infrastructure and Security Management. The internal audit found that 78 percent of components were in full or exceptional compliance, though with opportunities for improvement in organizational infrastructure.

GPO retained the Primary Trustworthy Digital Repository Authorization Body (PTAB) to perform an external audit beginning in June 2018. Successful certification was announced in December 2018, making GPO the first organization in the United States and the second worldwide to be accredited.

Brackish Groundwater in the United States. by Jennifer S. Stanton & others. U.S. Geological Survey. 2017. 185p. illus. maps. OCLC# 982495047. SuDoc# I 19.16:1833. online. bit.ly/BrackishGroundwater
Scarcity of water is an increasingly serious issue in the United States. This project examines the possibility of using brackish groundwater as a new source of potable water. "Brackish water" contains 1,000 to 10,000 (mg/L) of "dissolved solids," which makes it less salty than seawater but noticeably saltier than fresh water. In this nationwide study, the authors conclude that brackish groundwater, if properly treated, "may offer a partial solution to current and future water ­demands."
