Electronic documents: removed uncited paragraph on fugitive documents as it was factually incorrect. https://purl.stanford.edu/yc376vd9668
 
Line 71:
 
Libraries may substitute electronic documents for tangible documents as the only copy of the item in the collection, as long as the electronic document is complete, official, and permanently accessible. Access to electronic documents is provided through [[Persistent Uniform Resource Locator|Persistent Uniform Resources Locators]] (PURL) and is facilitated by [[GovInfo]] and the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP).
 
Recently, federal agencies have been bypassing the GPO in lieu of publishing documents directly online. These documents, known as "fugitive documents", are not published through GPO, and hence are not part of the FDLP program.
