| contents | Technology & U.S. Government Information Policies: Catalysts for New Partnerships. Report of the Task Force on Government Information in Electronic Format. Gapen, D. Kaye And Others Access to Information Budgeting Cooperation Depository Libraries Electronic Publishing Government Publications Government Role Information Dissemination Library Services Program Evaluation Technological Advancement Designed to encourage discussion of technology and U.S. government information policies and a clearer understanding of how the characteristics of electronic formats affect the availability of information, this report focuses on the implications for the library, education, and research communities that have heretofore assumed some responsibility for providing government information to the general public. Five issues are addressed: (1) challenges to the U.S. government information policies; (2) the roles of the private sector and government responsibilities in making information available; (3) models for the analysis of the distinctive characteristics of information in electronic formats; (4) a changing framework for library services; and (5) the consequent influence of these four sets of issues on the Depository Library Program, a Congressional program designed to provide equitable public availability of government information. It is concluded that circumstances warrant a reassessment of library responsibilities with a view to new opportunities made feasible by technology, and that this reassessment can only be made effectively when the Government Printing Office initiates distribution of some electronic products to depository libraries. "Government Information in Electronic Format: A Statement of Principles," a draft statement by the Association of Research Libraries Task Force on Government Information in Electronic Format, is appended.
