Document Summary
Government publishing office and fdlp: prints absolutely all official materials, federal depository library program: Davis is central, but others can opt in and have some, called selective depositories: Other university of north carolina system schools. St. andrews university: maps, drug addicts, government documents vs public records: You cannot simply ask for absolutely anything you want. The sticky note example: public records request wars happen often, the sticky note is about someone coming in to the building to fix the heating and air. This is about the transaction of government business, therefore it is a public record. If it were a joke, it would not be a public record because the transaction is not government business. There is a standard for administration and management of records. This breaks down each type of document, and when it can be destroyed. There are some documents that must be retained. Retention can depend on life of person, an office, or a structure.
