@midendian As you probably suspect, everything I've found so far says the physical copies were deaccessioned when the electronic copies became open-access (govdocs tend to be a black hole.) Your best bet is going to be small nerd libraries -- most often in museums, where they never get rid of […]

Couldn’t take it. Had to rant on the GovTrack Mastodon account abt how sloppy reporters (& Congress members even!) have been with their language re Biden Border stuff. It’s a Proclamation, not an Executive Order & the impt bits are all in a DHS regulation! (always a govdocs librarian apparently)

I just deployed GovDocs — a web application that uses AI to make South African government documents more searchable, accessible, and understandable. For the best experience, please use a laptop or desktop, as the mobile version currently has limited functionality.

If stuff like freedom of information and keeping the #USGovernment accountable are important to you, maybe you need to pay attention to this.
