Update to registry of GPO digitization projects

The Registry of U.S. Government Publication Digitization Projects, maintained by the Government Printing Office, was updated on June 18, 2008. (Thanks to Free Government Information.) From the announcement:

... The enhanced Registry provides the ability to:

  • Browse digitization projects by category or alphabetically by title.
  • Search the entire Registry or filter searches by category or fields.
  • Quickly access new and recently updated listings.
  • Utilize RSS feeds to keep informed of new and updated projects.
  • View listings by contributor.
  • Contact fellow digitization participants.
  • Recommend listings to others.
  • Report broken links. ...

GPO hopes that the robust features and easy-to-use nature of the enhanced Registry encourages fellow digitization participants to build a comprehensive listing of all Federal digitization projects. Project listings derive from voluntary and solicited contributions from Federal depository and other libraries, Federal and other government agencies, and other non-profit institutions. ...
