InfoBrief: GPO Access now Archive Only

To Cornell Law Faculty:

 

GPO Access is dead!  Long live FDsys!

 

Tomorrow, the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) draws one step closer to shutting down GPO Access, the free public access web site of full-text, official Federal information and finding aids.  Once the Friday editions of daily updated content (e.g., Federal Register, Congressional Record) have been uploaded, GPO will cease updating GPO Access in terms of both database content and HTML pages.  Friday, November 4, will mark the start of the archive only phase of GPO Access and new content will only be loaded to FDsys. During this phase, GPO Access will remain publicly accessible as a reference archive.

 

In order to make the switchover from GPO Access to FDsys as seamless as possible for users, GPO is in the process of creating one-to-one redirects from GPO Access content to the FDsys equivalent. This will ensure that bookmarks, Web links, URLs in print publications, and other GPO Access references point to valid Web resources. Once this has been completed, GPO Access will be taken offline. A date has not yet been established for the final shutdown of GPO Access; however, it is slated for fiscal year 2012.

 

If you would like assistance accessing federal documents through FDsys,please contact me or your librarian liaison. Information above supplied by GPO.
