looks like the US Government is producing the same sort of problem for 
libraries with respect to government documents as is ours.

> Hosted by George Washington University
> Washington, DC
>
> Program Overview
> The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) is pleased to sponsor The
> Future of Government Documents in ARL Libraries, a two-day symposium to
> bring together practitioners and administrators to address this 
> important
> issue. In December 2004, the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO)
> articulated in its Strategic Vision for the 21st Century an intention 
> to
> “focus [the] Federal Depository Library Program [FDLP] on Digital 
> Content
> Management.” Since that time, librarians in the government documents
> community have expressed concern about the future of the FDLP. This 
> concern
> has resulted in a variety of discussions among government documents
> librarians, library administrators, and GPO. This symposium will 
> convene
> key ARL library stakeholders to discuss issues and describe a preferred
> future for libraries’ role in providing access to government 
> information.
>
> Over the course of the two-day event, participants will:
>
> * Discuss the current conditions shaping the work of government 
> documents
> librarians
> * Explore new service models
> * Define the role(s) of government documents librarians for this new 
> era
> * Generate next steps, for teams and for the group, on how to lead and
> influence the transition from print-based collections to electronic 
> access
>
> Participants will use a “customer-in” model—placing users of government
> information at the apex of the decision making-process—for exploring 
> the
> future work of government documents librarians. Simultaneously, the 
> group
> will learn strategies for managing the change process, including how to
> guide, support, and reward efforts that advance organizational and
> community goals.
>
> Target Audience
> Two-person teams per institution are invited to register. Ideally, 
> teams
> should consist of the head of the government documents department and 
> the
> AUL (or other high-level administrator) who has responsibility for
> government documents; this team composition will maximize joint
> contributions to the exploration of issues and plans for the future at 
> the
> local level.
>
> Register Now at https://db.arl.org/training/govdocs/
> Registration includes all symposium materials, continental breakfast on
> each day, afternoon refreshments, and an opening keynote dinner on
> Thursday, September 8.
>
> Teams are encouraged to register as soon as possible as a space is 
> limited
> to 40 teams.
