New Feature Added to the GPO Digitization Ranking Survey
The GPO Digitization Ranking Survey, available at
<<http://www.gpoaccess.gov/legacy/priorities/index.html>>, now provides an
option to download the list of proposed government priority titles in
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (XLS) format. This feature can facilitate the
process of sorting through the list of 350 titles, which are arranged
alphabetically by title on the ranking survey form. When using the Excel
file, the titles can be sorted by SuDoc Classification number and then
browsed by Federal agency name. Once the participant's top ten priority
titles have been identified, the selected titles then can be submitted to
GPO through the Web ranking survey form in order to complete the voting
process.
Background on the Digitization Ranking Survey
GPO recently conducted a survey to identify priority titles for digitization
from the historical government documents collections located in Federal
depository libraries. The recommended titles have been compiled and are now
available for ranking. The ranking survey will be open from June 23, 2004
through July 23, 2004. Everyone is encouraged to participate in this ranking
survey; however, the results will be tallied differently for Federal
depository libraries and other participants. Each participant may select and
rank up to ten titles for digitization, based on personal experience and
perceived local or national need. Federal depository libraries are required
to enter their library type, number, and internal password to access the
survey. Each depository library is allowed to vote only once. If multiple
submissions are made, only the last submission will be compiled as part of
total listing.
If you have any questions about this or other depository-related matters,
please submit them through the "Ask a Question" feature of GPO's online help
service at: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/help/index.html. Thank you.
