"Visualizing the Depository Library of the Future" was the theme of the spring 2003 meeting of the Depository Library Council to the Public Printer. A summary of the meeting appeared in the May 15 issue of Administrative Notes and is also available on the Council Web page at <http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/council/EnvisioningtheFuture.html>.

For the first time, part of the Council meeting was videotaped, and the files are available at <http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/council/sp03dlc_videos.html>.

To document the benefits to libraries of being in the Federal Depository Library Program, the Library Programs Service has launched a new "Stay With The Program" campaign.

A variety of materials are available on a new Web page, at <www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/staywiththeprogram.html>.
