I can't resist putting in my 2 cents and playing devil's advocate. With
the government's push to become more digital in its dissemination of
information, it seems to me that depository libraries become somewhat
irrelevant and unnecessary. As the director of a map library who has
built its collection without the benefit of depository status, I guess I
just don't see what the big deal is.
