GPO Achieves 200 Million Retrievals on FDsys

The U.S. Government Printing Office’s (GPO) Federal Digital System (FDsys) has achieved the milestone of 200 million retrievals since the Website went live in January 2009. FDsys is a system that lawmakers, librarians, students and the public can use to access authentic, published information on the Federal Government. Approximately 380,000 Government documents across 41 collections are available for free use on FDsys.

Examples of content found on FDsys include:

The post-President Kennedy’s assassination tape recordings, President Nixon’s Watergate grand jury testimony, the Budget of the U.S. Government, the Congressional Record, Federal Register, Code of Federal Regulations, and congressional bills, hearings, and reports. GPO is continually adding content and working with agencies on new collection opportunities.

“This is an exciting milestone for GPO’s Federal Digital System and the exceptional service it provides to the American public,” said Acting Public Printer Davita Vance-Cooks. “Today, approximately 97 percent of Federal Government documents are born digitally and published only to the Internet making FDsys the place to go to access authentic, published Government information.”
