Our mission

FGI promotes free government information through collaboration, education, advocacy and research.

Federal publications recalled from libraries

James R. Jacobs and Barbara Krupa of Stanford University Libraries created this list of Federal government publications that have been recalled from Federal Depository Libraries.

Entries were garnered from several resources (see below) but it may not be complete. The list was created in June of 2010 and is updated as new information is gathered.
