“On behalf of GPO’s Superintendent of Documents Judith Russell and the rest of her team, I congratulate the Tulsa City-County Library for embracing new technology in its ongoing efforts to make public access to government information better accessible,” said James. “The library staff’s commitment to utilizing the Internet and using outside-of-the-box techniques to better serve the needs of the public is commendable.”
James cited Tulsa’s innovative document access options, its retrospective cataloging that has increased circulation, and its acting as a liaison for local community officials.
The award was established by the Government Printing Office in March to “raise public awareness of the network of depository libraries” and identify best practices among them.
