New generations

It is time for a new generation of librarians to take over the work of restructuring the Federal Depository Library Program and to build new networks of partnerships in order to develop a program for the dissemination of government information in the next century. A new association of government information professionals will help to provide the framework needed for individual librarians to develop professional networks within, and outside of, librarianship and to establish direct partnerships with information-producing agencies. The Chicago Conference on the Federal Depository Library Program has taken the first steps in that direction.
