Abstract
Though the FDLP Modernization Act of 2018 failed to land on the president’s desk, the first serious attempt at a legislative solution to the structural hindrances facing the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) must be applauded. In particular, granting the Superintendent of Documents the authority to designate depositories is a vast improvement over the current and ancient Congressional District Model of Depository Allocation. The inadequacies of this well intentioned method of allocating depositories nationwide have been articulated since the nineteenth century.
尽管《2018年联邦存托图书馆现代化法案》(FDLP Modernization Act of 2018)未能送到总统的办公桌上,但这是联邦存托图书馆计划(FDLP)面临的结构性障碍首次认真尝试立法解决方案,必须受到称赞。特别是,授予文件监督指定保管人的权力,是对当前和古代国会地区保管人分配模式的巨大改进。自19世纪以来,这种在全国范围内分配存款的善意方法的不足之处就已被阐明。
