GPO’S Federal Digital System (FDsys)

The Government Printing Office (GPO) launched its Federal Digital System (FDsys) earlier this year. FDsys allows the GPO to receive information from federal agencies in all three branches of Government and create a repository for permanent, public access.

FDsys now posts congressional bills, documents and hearing testimonies; documents from the Federal Register; and bills and laws enacted since the 104th Congress.

The site also offers a daily online publication covering the president's orders, statements and remarks — the Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents. Contributed by the Office of the Federal Register, it uses material from the White House Press Office.

FDsys offers incredible search capabilities for users such as: searching by Congressional Committee, by a Member of Congress's name, keyword, and date. Watch the GPO's FDsys online tutorials to know more about its search features.

This system gives the American people a one-stop site to authentic, published Government information. Recently GPO’S FDsys was named one of the best government web sites.

GPO makes government information available at no cost to the public through GPO Access (www.gpoaccess.gov), and through partnerships with 1,240 libraries nationwide participating in the Federal Depository Library Program. Tarver Library is one of the depository libraries.
