Jerome Hall Law Library expanding partnership with GPO to preserve government information

The Jerome Hall Law Library at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law is expanding its preservation of U.S. government documents in print, one of several dozen Federal Depository Libraries across the country stepping up to ensure public access to vital records of American history. Of the more than 1,100 FDLs nationwide, only 63 serve as Preservation Stewards, a national program launched by the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) in 2016 to support the long-term preservation of federal government publications. The Jerome Hall Law Library is one of them. “We were eager to contribute to preserving legacy print collections that continue to serve Law School faculty and students, the broader IU academic community, and researchers throughout the Midwest,” said Jennifer Morgan, the Library’s Government Information Librarian.
