U.S. Government Information Site GPO Access Shuts Down March 16
GPO Access, the online disseminator of official U.S. government publications, is shutting down permanently tomorrow, March 16th. It has gradually been replaced over the past two years by the new FDsys or Federal Digital System.
FDsys offers authentic, digitally signed PDF documents from dozens of different collections of U.S. Federal Government information (Congressional, Presidential, judicial and federal agency materials)
Some of the new system’s highlights:
- Information is preserved for permanent public access
- Search multiple publications at once
- Conduct complex searches
- Narrow, sort, and filter search results
- Access documents in multiple file formats
- Access metadata in standard XML formats
