Updates?

The text says '... As of June 2008...' - is there a more recent figure? Jackiespeel (talk) 15:23, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Iranian Website Hack

There should be some info added relating to the Cyberattack on January 4th, 2020 where the homepage was defaced for a few minutes with Pro-Iranian hackers possibly connected to Iran as revenge for the assassination of Qasem Soleimani. Riadse96 (talk) 01:34, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This incident may have been linked to an Instragram page called "takavar313.ir" which appeared in an illustrated image of Trump being punched. Riadse96 (talk) 01:58, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Low Importance"

The article is currently listed as "Low-importance Libraries article," which appears to be reserved for individual libraries (ex. 18th Avenue Library, Airdrie Public Library, etc). Due to the size of the program (over 1,100 libraries, including every major research university and large public library), its large federal budget of the program, and its extensive history, it should have a higher level of importance within the librarianship articles.

NASA Earth science research

I am unable to access any of the files in the Federal Depository Library Program Electronic Collection (FDLP/EC) Archive for NASA Earth Science.[1] Last update was 2023. The main site says "Title 44 of the United States Code (44 U.S.C. Section 1911) stipulates that public access to official Government information products disseminated through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) must be maintained permanently in regional depository libraries and by depository libraries not served by a regional library. Since online products are not physically distributed to depository libraries for retention, GPO has assumed responsibility for the provision of permanent access to Government information products residing on FDsys servers." Can anyone explain what has happened to these files? They deal with protecting the environment and mitigating climate change. Viriditas (talk) 01:38, 12 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
