contents National Policy and Access to Federal Information--A View from the Hinterlands. Welsh, Harry E. Depository Libraries Federal Government Government Publications Government Role Information Dissemination Policy Formation National information policy should recognize the depository library system as the public's natural and traditional access point to Federal information. Despite efforts of agencies, Congress, and national commissions to improve access, citizens are still confused and frustrated in obtaining public Federal information. Certain issues of public policy and administrative laxness and indecision impairing depository libraries' effectiveness should be resolved in the interest of public information accessibility. Congress should view these libraries as a link with its constituents and enhance the information services. Cast in a new role, depository libraries could not only provide publications, but also refer inquirers to other Federal information resources. (Author/CMV)
