A. Introduction |
The Metropolitan Library System was designated as a part of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) in 1974. The FDLP is part of the Government Printing Office, which has produced Federal government information products for almost 150 years. More and more items are online only, so not all of these are print sources.
MLS is also a depository member of the Oklahoma Publications Clearinghouse (OPC), which is a unit of the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. Many publications of the State of Oklahoma Agencies are now online only and can often be found on their websites from the Agency Directory
