GPO Staff Visit ULM


On February 28th, ULM Library faculty and staff welcomed visitors Joe Paskoski and George Barnum from the Government Printing Office (GPO) in Washington, D.C. The GPO is a federal agency that publishes government information both online and in print, distributing it to libraries across the country through the Federal Depository Library Program. Our library is a depository for both federal and state documents, which can be found in print on the 4th floor or online through our catalog.

Paskoski and Barnum were also joined by Louisiana Tech librarian and ULM alumna Abigail Desoto, who oversees the depository programs for our region. The visitors toured the library building and met with administrators as well as faculty and staff in Government Publications. Finally, Paskoski presented an informative training session on “Basic Government Resources for Reference”. We were very happy to have them here, and hope to see them again soon!
