A librarian at the State University of New York, Oswego has been writing to urge government document librarians to restrict access to a portion of government depository collections; that portion is the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) publications on microfiche.
The Superintendent of Documents of the Government Printing office is the only person with the authority to make such a request, and has not asked depository libraries to limit access to these materials.

Lynda Weinman moderated an inspiring panel about web interface design at Seybold yesterday. The panelists were Matt Owens, Hillman Curtis and Jeffrey Zeldman. Good chemistry. After the talk, I was introduced to Joe Maller. Took a peek at his site this morning, and my cheeks still sting from grinning.
