| | Work of the United States Government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A work of the United States Government is, as defined by United States Copyright Law, "a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties": the term only applies to the work of the federal government, not state or local governments. | | | For example, the federal government purchased the United States copyright to Madison's Notes from Dolley Madison for $30,000 upon Madison's death. | | | Unlike works of the U.S. Government, works produced by contractors under government contracts (or submitted in anticipation of such contracts) are protected under U.S. Copyright Law. |

| | Government Information in the Digital Age: The Once and Future Federal Depository Library Program |
| | Governments either do not, or are re-evaluating their policies, or are attempting to actively pursue new procedures that not only allow them to examine what is being read by whom, but mandate that they will do so. | | | Congress must understand that access to a document on a government controlled web server is not the same as deposit of that document in libraries and that short-term access is not the same as long-term access or preservation. | | | GPO plans the "creation of a fully digital database of all past, present and future government documents."30 This, combined with omission of any intention of depositing digital publications with depository libraries effectively describes a vision in which depository libraries are replaced with a single monolithic database of government documents. |
