Is the FDLP Electronic Collection archive an independent, searchable, or browseable collection?

No. Because the FDLP/EC Archive is only one piece of the larger archiving and permanent public access picture, it exists in the background. Users seek publications from the FDLP/EC using the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP) or the other cataloging and locator tools on the FDLP web site. When a publication is no longer available from its originating site, users will be alerted and directed to the archived copy. This redirect will occur seamlessly, via the Persistent Uniform Resource Locator (PURL).
