GPO Access is on the way out

Did you know that the GPO Access Web site is about to be replaced by FDSys?

In typical government fashion, the undated FAQ says the switchover will occur "mid-winter," with no mention of a calendar year.

Claimed enhancements include the ability to:
  • Easily search across multiple publications or collections of government publications from a single search box.
  • Perform an advanced search against robust metadata about each publication from a single advanced search page.
  • Construct complex search queries using advanced Boolean and field operators.
  • Refine and narrow searches by applying filters, sorting search results, and searching within search results.
  • Retrieve individual government documents and publications in seconds directly from each search result.
  • Utilize enhanced help options including context specific field level help and a searchable online help system.
