The move of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) to a digital environment has created a number of big shifts in how we receive, process, catalog, and access that information. It has also created some big shifts for our patrons and how we have helped them navigate the changes to the FDLP process. Join us for a one-hour program where we dive into these changes. We will look at the training done to get librarians ready for these changes. We will look at the different National Service Collection Areas (NCSA) in the FDLP and how these changes impacted each area. We will also look at what the digital changes look like versus prior practice and models, as well as best practices and how librarians are educating users on these new changes for a seamless transition into the digital field.
