Seavey, Charles A.

Journal of Government Information, v21 n2 p77-81 Mar-Apr 1994

Discusses problems in the U.S. depository library system and offers suggestions for improvement, including cutting the List of Classes so libraries have more control over material selection; adding more public libraries as depositories; and restructuring regional depository library responsibilities so they do not have to keep all publications. (Contains six references.) (LRW)
