Cataloging Record Distribution Program for FY2024

T

he U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has provided government document record distribution at no cost to libraries since 2009 through the Cataloging Record Distribution Program (CRDP). Currently, 216 libraries participate in the program. However, in August 2024, the GPO announced that the CRDP will close in March 2025.

MARCIVE, along with its participants, is saddened by this news. Nonetheless, we continue to offer government cataloging services, and participating libraries can switch to our paid subscription to ensure uninterrupted service. The MARCIVE Enhanced GPO Database Service provides depository libraries with a cost-effective and convenient method for obtaining cataloging of publications distributed by the U.S. GPO.

Existing CRDP libraries should contact MARCIVE with any questions regarding subscription changes or other technical concerns.
