How are resources selected for the FDLP Electronic Collection (FDLP/EC)?

Electronic resources in the FDLP must meet the same basic criteria as traditional products in the program. They must have public interest or educational value, are not intended strictly for internal use in the issuing agency, and are not classified for reasons of national security. Resources are evaluated by Library Programs Service staff using these criteria. Staff also consider criteria in Superintendent of Documents Policy Statement 71 (SOD 71) in cases which require a choice between formats.
