The draft Decision Framework for Federal Document Repositories (prepared by the GPO's Center for Research Libraries (CRL) for creating the specifications for a system of regional repositories for tangible federal government documents) will enable the Superintendent of Documents to evaluate the qualities, resources and capabilities of potential repository facilities and their governing organizations, and identify the configuration of light (accessible by many authorized users) and dark (secure, back-up) repositories most appropriate to ensure the persistent archiving and public availability of tangible federal documents. "Formation of such archives would enable Federal depository libraries to consolidate or reduce their local tangible collections secure in the knowledge that copies will be perpetually available from the GPO Collection." This will be added to Academic Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide.
