Docs Prescriptions The Newsletter of the Government Documents Round Table of Ohio

Issue 76 Spring 2012

From the Chair Again, it has been a humbling experience to serve as the 2011-2012 Government Documents Roundtable of Ohio (Ohio GODORT) Chair; my humble efforts are small compared to others who have currently serve or have served Ohio GODORT in the past Before, I proceed, recognition should be given to two such individuals who have made Ohio GODORT a success. Past Chair Schuyler Cook (Cleveland State) is retiring this year, and longtime secretary treasurer Sarajean Petite (Case Western Reserve School of Law) is consolidating her role to concentrate on her pursuit of a Juris Doctorate. Please join me in thanking both of these talented colleagues for their dedication to our organization and wish them great success in the future. As I also mentioned the last time I communicated with you, we are in an exciting, yet uncertain time in providing government information access. Local, state, and federal financial support to provide government information access in traditional paper formats is shrinking. Yet, new strategies and techniques (i.e. digital access) have been developing for several years and are now beginning to bear fruit. The GPO has asked us to consider how Ohio will respond to how we plan to manage and share digital collections in our state. As a result, our Spring Meeting is dedicated to answering questions related to the completion of the FDLP State Forecast - https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FDLPStateForecast . Since many of the FDLP State Forecast questions ask how states will collectively address the collective contribution and management of digital collections by state agencies (on behalf of their state’s member FDLP libraries), the State Library of Ohio and our Regional Coordinator Audrey Hall needs our input and ideas as to how that might be successfully accomplished here in Ohio. Of course, a great example of how Ohio might address the government information digital collection management issue is our own Ohio GODORT War Relocation Authority Digital Collection - http://ohiogodort.uakron.edu/handle/2374.GODORT/2 . As I mentioned in the last issue of “Docs Prescriptions”, Shari Laster (University of Akron) has worked diligently to develop the infrastructure to provide a home for government document legacy digitization projects. Now that nearly 97% of new government publications are born digital, the use of this format and access will provide lasting benefits for both access to and preservation of these materials.[1] The Ohio GODORT War Relocation Authority Digital Collection features reports, operational guides, publicity materials, and research works in book form. Longtime Ohio GODORT members/past presidents Carol Singer and Mary Prophet greatly contributed

to this effort by compiling the union list for the print materials in the collection in the late 1980s advocating for the digitization of these items in the early 2000s, respectively.[2] In fact, Singer just completed a LibGuide which identifies other general War Relocation Authority resources which can be use in addition to the primary source materials contained within the Ohio GODORT War Relocation Authority Digital Collection. The resource may be found at http://libguides.bgsu.edu/wra . As mentioned previously, by utilizing OhioLINK’s Digital Resource Commons (DRC) structure, Laster volunteered to chair the government document digitization and metadata creation process (as a result of a nomination to serve in the capacity from another Ohio GODORT past president and longtime Ohio GODORT contributor, Colleen Parmer). The results of several years of committee discussions – both at the OhioLINK and Government Printing Office – GPO – levels, are evident in the result that is Ohio GODORT War Relocation Authority Digital Collection Database. This model, in my view, could have broader implications for future Ohio digital collection management by the State Library of Ohio on behalf of the GPO. Once again, I encourage you to take a look at the presentation discussing the Ohio GODORT War Relocation Authority Digital Collection Database’s developmental history and structural details at http://www.slideshare.net/rhonabwy/crossing-institutional-boundaries-to-create-permanent-public-access-for-government-information . The concepts presented here may, once again, help us, as individual FDLP member libraries, effectively contribute feedback to be used in answering the FDLP State Forecast, which will enable Ohio to be a strong contributor to future government information management and access efforts. Also, take a look at the State Library of Ohio’s Regional Depository Objectives (found in the Ohio State Plan for the Federal Depository Library Program - http://ohiogodort.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/stateplan.pdf ). They are also listed following this letter for your convenience. Finally, I want to thank our current Program Chair and incoming 2012-2013 Ohio GODORT Chair Jeff Hartsell-Gundy (Miami Univ. of Ohio) for his wonderful efforts this year and wish him great success during his upcoming tenure as Chair of Ohio GODORT.

Tom Adamich, Chair of Ohio GODORT The objectives of the State Library of Ohio as regional depository include the following: 1. To maintain a comprehensive collection that serves the citizens of Ohio and supplements the needs of the selective Federal Depository Libraries in the state. 2. To provide reference service to the citizens and libraries of Ohio. 3. To coordinate the development of strong current and retrospective collections statewide. (See the Collection Development section of this document.) 4. To oversee the publication disposal process of the Ohio Federal Depository Libraries and to provide guidelines and procedures for this process 5. To advise and assist selective depository libraries in the interpretation of GPO guidelines. 6. To take an active role in GPO Public Access Assessments by helping libraries to prepare for

a PAA and by accompanying Library Services & Content Management (LSCM) outreach librarians when they visit libraries if requested. 7. To become familiar with the operation of all Ohio Federal Depository Libraries through periodic visits, regular communication, and by reading self studies, self-study evaluations, and inspection reports; and to maintain a file on each of the libraries. 8. To participate actively in the Ohio Government Documents Round Table (GODORT) group, and to organize documents-related workshops and meetings. 9. To promote the Federal Depository Library Program and its resources. 10. To maintain the ohiogovdoc listserv for disposal lists and as a mode of communication among Documents libraries.

From the Editor’s Desk My thanks to everybody who contributed to this issue! Your contributions help all of us be more knowledgeable and engaged in the efforts to make government information accessible to all citizens of Ohio. I would particularly like to thank Audrey Hall and her colleagues at the State Library of Ohio who contributed the photograph of Mary Prophet presenting Clyde Hordusky with the original Clyde Award. Docs Prescriptions didn’t include photographs when this took place, so we never had a photograph of this event, which is surely one of the historic moments of the Government Documents Round Table of Ohio. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you at the Spring Meeting. The program promises to be informative and useful. Even more, I value the opportunity to spend time with others who work with government documents. I’m extraordinarily lucky to split the government documents responsibilities with Jeanne Langendorfer, but I love the chance to talk shop with other government information specialists. Much of my job this year has been dominated by a title-by-title review of our print U.S. government documents collection. To date, we have listed more than 55,000 items on our offers lists and I’m about three-fourths done with reviewing this collection. I will free up substantial space and remove many documents which we no longer need. I’m very happy to report that we’re cataloging everything I’m keeping that wasn’t already cataloged. I expect this will occupy our catalogers for the next few years, but I’m excited about the great documents that will now be identifiable and accessible. I’ve also learned a great deal about our collection. This knowledge will, I hope, improve my ability to help our students and faculty find the information they need. See you in Columbus! Carol A. Singer, Editor Bowling Green State University

Secretary’s Report

Government Documents Roundtable of Ohio Fall Business Meeting

Case Western Reserve University Law Library November 18, 2011

Secretary/Treasurer’s Report Jeff presented SaraJean’s report (attached). From May to November 2011, GODORT of Ohio’s total income was $565.97, of which $465.00 was dues. Expenses for the same period were $821.14. The ending balance, as of November 15, 2011, was $3,597.62. Aside from expenses for the Spring Meeting, the biggest expense was for our domain name, $75.75. Weiping Zhang asked what dates were covered by the payment of dues. It was noted that dues are generally due at the Spring Meeting. Several people asked if it could be possible to pay dues online. Andy Pochatko noted that PayPal generally takes only a modest percentage of a payment, so that might be an option for GODORT of Ohio. Shari Laster moved for approval of the Treasurer’s Report. Schuyler Cook seconded the motion. The Treasurer’s Report was approved. Shari Laster moved for approval of the Spring 2011 minutes. Schuyler Cook seconded the motion. The minutes were approved. Report from the State Library Audrey Hall acknowledged SaraJean’s hard work in setting up the meeting, and Jeff and Carol for stepping in to chair the meeting and take minutes. She reported that there are a number of new depository coordinators since the Spring meeting: Cherie Bronkar at Muskingum University, Barbara Moginot at Malone University, Weiping Zhang at Kent State University and Roger Kosson at Denison University. The State Library has experienced several staff changes. Evan Struble joined the staff in October as a library consultant in IT working with Ohio Libraries Share: MORE. Kirstin

Krumsee has joined the State Library as Reference Services Librarian. Head of Fiscal & Business Services, Diane Fink, announced her retirement effective 12/31/2011. Audrey reported that travel at the State Library has been restricted for several years but now, within reason, they are able to travel again. Audrey can now schedule visits with depository libraries. She wanted to emphasize that these visits are not at all any sort of inspection. They are simply an opportunity for Audrey and depository staff members to meet face to face to answer any questions. She asked coordinators to let her know if they would like to be first in line for a visit. She reminded depositories that patent CDs won’t be produced any longer. Arrangements have been made for patent data to be available through Google. Wright State University Libraries are a United States Patent and Trademark Resource Center. Shari reminded attendees that Akron-Summit County Public Library is also a United States Patent and Trademark Resource Center. [Note: Other U.S. Patent and Trademark Resource Centers in Ohio are Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County, Cleveland Public Library, and Toledo/Lucas County Public Library]. Report from the Executive Board Hartsell-Gundy reported that the board started planning this meeting and discussed website issues, which will be included in the Web Committee Report. Committee Reports: Membership Peter Thayer asked attendees to check the spreadsheet that was circulating of a list of “persons of interest.” He had tried to get this information updated through a Webmonkey survey he designed. Thirty-four people responded. Those who were not already on the list were added. Peter asked for a show of hands of those who were attending their first Ohio GODORT meeting. Committee Reports: GODORT of Ohio Home Page Jeff reported for SaraJean: Mark Gooch created a WordPress site for our organization. SaraJean Petite is still in the process of migrating content from the site on Wooster’s server to the new site. The new site has a new domain name: ohiogodort.org. Committee Reports: Newsletter Carol Singer reported that the latest issue of the newsletter had been issued. She urged everybody to send her news and articles for the next issue. Committee Reports: Ohio GODORT Digital Collection Shari Laster reported:

In October, we loaded our first two batches of content and had it moved to the production server. The URL is: ohiogodort.uakron.edu. This is 18 out of the 30 documents in the Denison/Kenyon collection. Another 2 documents are waiting for the development and testing of the single item submission process, 8 are waiting for cleaned-up PDFs and/or TIFFs, and 2 have not yet been digitized.

A presentation at ALAO focused on the process of planning and launching this collection. The slides are available on SlideShare.

Two virtual training sessions will be held the week of 5 December for volunteers who are interested in the metadata clean-up process. Please let Shari Laster know if you are interested in this training. We will begin planning for a second collection this winter. Suggestions are welcome.

The Site Administrator (Shari Laster) is also working closely with the OhioLINK Digital Resources Management Committee to ensure the long-term stability of the DRC.

Peter Thayer noted that Marietta College had just brought up a digitized collection of Civil War materials. The site is available at: http://drc.library.marietta.edu/handle/2374.MARIETTA/886

Liaison Reports: Ohio GODORT-ALA GODORT Shari Laster reported:

Membership passed two resolutions: one on GPO funding and one on the dismantling of the Census Bureau’s Statistical Compendia Branch .

The State and Local Documents Task Force has asked ALA Advocacy to establish a list of state-level library advocacy contacts.

GPO is on board for the January 2013 timetable for the adoption of RDA. The GODORT program at the 2012 Annual meeting in Anaheim will focus on RDA and government publications.

GODORT is exploring adding an Interest Group structure, and exploring changing GITCO to an Interest Group.

An Online Learning Task Force put out a call for proposals for a pilot online course, scheduled for this spring. The deadline for proposals is 1 December 2011.

Work continues on virtual membership opportunities. The following committees will NOT be meeting at Midwinter: Awards, Bylaws, Conference, Education, GITCO, Membership, and Web Managers.

Future of the FDLP discussions will be held on ALA Connect as well as at the face-to-face meetings. Please follow the node and share your thoughts as discussion issues are brought to the table.

Liaison Reports: Archives Audrey Hall reports that she continues to add materials to the archives. Recently she even needed to use the archives to answer a question. Liaison Reports: OhioLINK Shari Laster reported on work with OH-DEP, a catalog for materials that are stored at the five off-site storage facilities serving the public universities in Ohio. Shari is working on a MOU to allow depository materials to be moved into the OH-DEP combined catalog. This would need to be approved by both the regional and GPO. Audrey Hall asked how this was different from OhioLINK. Shari answered that this combined catalog included only materials from the public universities that have been sent to one of the off-site storage facilities. Kent State University and Youngstown University are considering participation in this type of arrangement, but it’s complicated by depository regulations. Jeanne Langendorfer reminded attendees that each institution would have to make a decision if they wanted their depository documents to be included in OH-DEP. Carol Singer noted that one of the reasons for combining some storage depository collections was that the depositories were running out of space and the intent was to remove some of the duplicate volumes that were scattered among the five storage depositories.

Report from the Federal Depository Library Conference Shari Laster presented the following report from the FDLC:

First “Annual” Conference & Meeting. Due to financial constraints, GPO has discontinued the Spring Meeting.

GPO hosted a reception at its main facility to show off the fantastic 150th anniversary display. George Barnum coordinated the display and additionally wrote the new GPO history that was published last spring. Ohio was well-represented, with several documents from OU and Denison loaned for the display.

Next year will be the 50th anniversary of Regionals. GPO will celebrate at the Fall 2012 Conference.

Funding is very tight, so GPO is prioritizing projects and looking for cost savings.

GPO has begun to publish e-books, including an e-book version of the 9/11 Commission Report.

GPO Access is archive-only. Please check your web guides and change all references to FDsys (or another appropriate tool). A new eCFR is under development so the current one will remain accessible on the FDLP Desktop.

Collections added to FDsys include: Statutes at Large 1951-2002 and a small pilot of court opinions from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.

Metalib can now simultaneously search the CGP and FDsys.

An FDsys curriculum has been completed and will be recorded and released as soon as GPO can procure a replacement for the previous online training tool. The pilot for PACER training continues and is now open to some law and public libraries.

The Internet Archive and GPO are partnering to test a new web harvest procedure. These materials would be stored by IA for eventual ingest into FDsys.

The new FDLP Legal Requirements document supersedes the FDLP Handbook and FDL Requirements documents. The forthcoming web version will include guidance and best practices.

The Depository Library User Survey Report was released. If your library participated in the survey, you can log in and view the results from your institution. You can also view state-by-state aggregations.

Discussion throughout the meetings addressed issues related to Regionals, particularly with respect to the situation in Michigan, and the ASERL Centers of Excellence project.

Please take advantage of opportunities on the FDLP Community to comment on interface designs. FDLP Desktop, Ben’s Guide and the Community site itself are being refreshed in the near future.

On the final day of the meeting, GPO launched a state-by-state information gathering effort to determine what challenges depositories in each state face. Libraries will be asked to answer a few questions, and groups will meet in each state to compile a summary for the state. Additionally, states may be asked to develop a plan to address the challenges that can be met. GPO will map this information to the current structure of Title 44, and use this mapping as evidence and guidance for the process of having Title 44 revised.

Shari will be Chair of DLC June 2012-May 2013. Audrey Hall reported that there were some good sessions at DLC. Weiping Zhang also felt there were some good, practical sessions.

Old Business: Kids Group They received more than 31,000 entries for the 2011 Constitution Day contest. The winners have been named and will be posted at http://www.constitutionfacts.com/ New Business: Nominating Committee Jeff Hartsell-Gundy announced that we’ll need a Program Chair/President-Elect and a Secretary/Treasurer to be voted on at the Spring meeting. According to the Bylaws, SaraJean is unable to serve another term as Secretary/Treasurer. Jeff asked for volunteers to be on the Nominating Committee. Weiping Zhang volunteered to be on the committee. New Business: Spring Meeting Jeff noted that the Spring Meeting is always at the State Library of Ohio. Audrey recommended that we avoid the weekend of Mother’s Day and common weekends for graduations. Shari recommended we try to have the meeting in May, avoiding June. Jeanne recommended May 18th as the first choice and Shari recommended May 4th as the 2d choice. There was a general agreement on these two choices, so Audrey will check for availability of meeting space at the State Library. Other Business Schuyler Cook highly recommended that anybody involved in a federal depository should try to attend a Depository Library Council meeting because it’s an excellent opportunity to watch the members of the DLC discussing major issues. He congratulated Shari Laster on being the incoming chair to DLC and emphasized what a wonderful opportunity it is for Ohio to have the chair of DLC. Shari offered to do her best to get an answer to any questions that can be answered by GPO. She notes that DLC listens to the community, informally informs GPO, and formally makes recommendations to GPO. Peter Thayer said that Ohio government documents librarians have always been well represented in DLC and Ohio documents librarians are well thought of in the depository community. Adjourn Schuyler Cook moved that the meeting be adjourned. Shari Laster seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 PM. Respectfully Submitted, Carol Singer For SaraJean Petite Secretary/Treasurer

News from the State Library From Audrey Hall, State Library of Ohio

Has your Congressional District changed because of redistricting? GPO is planning to change Congressional District fields in the FDL Directory where needed on January 3rd when the 113th Congress starts. You may be contacted to verify that there is a change for your depository. Deadline dates for the FDLP Library Forecast, FDLP State Forecast and State Focused Action Plan have been a tad confusing to say the least. All are due on June 30. But the results of the Library Forecasts are needed to complete the State Forecast and the results of the Library Forecasts and State Forecast are needed to complete the State Focused Action Plan. Caution, when you have filled out the questionnaire on Survey Monkey and click “next” on the last page, your answers will be recorded and you cannot access the questionnaire again. FDLP Forecast Study FAQs at www.fdlp.gov/faqs recommends that you fill out your answers in the WORD or PDF version of the form to use as a template for filling out the Survey Monkey form. If you send a copy of your responses to me it will expedite the compilation for the State Forecast and State Action Plan. GPO says it may take up to a month to forward a compilation of results to each state. Our GODORT spring meeting program will be a panel of GPO staff members who will discuss the Forecast Surveys with us via videoconference. Bring along a copy of your Forecast with any questions that you have for the panel. If you are unable to attend, email your questions to a member of the Executive Board who can ask for you. Please plan to submit your Library Forecast to GPO and a copy to me for your file and the State Forecast by May 31. If you would like to help prepare the State Focused Action Plan, please let me know. There will be some preliminary discussion during the business meeting. Our display commemorating the 150th anniversary of GPO has recently concluded. It featured a small sample of the many publications in our collection. The Government Information section of the State Library contains over 1 million publications, dating from the 1700's to the present. Also included were the Four Freedoms posters which will remain on permanent exhibit. On April 2, George Barnum, agency historian at the U.S. Government Printing Office, presented “Notable Days : Snapshots from 150 Years of Service to the Nation. Staff changes at the State Library since our last GODORT meeting include the April 30 retirement of reference librarian John Bittel, David Namiotka’s promotion to Associate State Librarian for Library Services, Patrick Fitzer’s promotion to Supervisor, Information Systems & Technology, Amanda (Mandy) Knapp will begin June 4 as a Library Consultant – Technology working with the Ohio eBook Project. Our travel is no longer restricted. If you would like me to visit your library, please let me know so we can schedule a convenient time.

Kudos for Shari Laster’s Article in DTTP Daniel Cornwall blogged on Free Government Information (FGI) about Shari Laster’s recent article in DTTP: To view the original blog post, see http://freegovinfo.info/node/3684

Celebrating Collaboration in Ohio

The Spring 2012 issue of DttP:Documents to the People has an article that shows the power of librarians working together:

Laster, Shari. Crossing Institutional Boundaries to Build a Digital Collection. Dttp: Documents to the People, v.40, no. 1, p.25.

The article describes a project by the Ohio Government Documents Roundtable to build a collection of digitized publications from the War Relocation Authority.

What distinguishes this article from others about building digital collections is that this was done under the umbrella of a state government documents roundtable with the support of a number of Ohio libraries. I find this to be an exciting model for collaboration elsewhere.

According to Ms. Laster, future plans of Ohio GODORT include adding new collections, which will probably require the development of a process for distributed digitization. All of us at FGI wish them well in that work and hold up Ohio as an example of how other state GODORTs might be able to collaborate on projects of statewide interest.
