A Law Librarian Examines the Implications of the GPO Modernization Act of 2026
Retired New York principal law librarian David Badertscher writes the following in “The GPO Modernization Act of 2026: What It Could Mean for Libraries and Public Access to Information” for the Criminal Law Library Blog:This proposed legislation is more consequential for libraries and government-information professionals than its title might initially suggest. It is not simply an internal GPO housekeeping bill; it would substantially rewrite the statutory framework governing the Federal Depository Library Program, digital preservation, permanent public access, cataloging, and the National Collection. In this post the strongest emphasis is on permanent public access, preservation of born digital government information, the modernization of the FDLP, and the implications for law librarians and researchers.
