The Government Printing Office (GPO) has posted their recent session on reporting fugitive documents at their OPAL archive:

If you have any interest in the fugitive document problem — agencies publishing information that slips between the cracks — I highly recommend this session. This is an informative and frank discussion about GPO’s efforts to address this problem and how librarians and other interested govinfo types can help contribute to the solution. Or at least one solution among many.
