Update Report on February and March 2010 Lost Docs
In addition to our usual monthly report, we at the Lost Docs Project Blog will from time to time revisit, check, and update posted document receipts that at the time of their corresponding monthly reports were still classed as fugitives. The following report focuses on the receipts posted February-March, 2010. They were reported to GPO between January and March, 2010, the majority between February and March. Report/Update Of the 34 fugitive document titles from receipts posted February-March 2010, 12 (35%) of the titles have had records added to the Catalog of Government Publications (CGP), 9 of these have been added since the February and March, 2010 monthly reports. Of the 34 titles, 22 (65%) remain fugitives. Two of the cataloged titles we identified as "Preservation Needed" as they have not been assigned a PURL. While the low percentage of those cataloged is disappointing, we are appreciative of those records that have been created and added to the CGP. Found documents can be viewed by looking at the blog posts with February and March, 2010 dates at http://lostdocs.freegovinfo.info/category/found/ and/or view a listing by visiting https://sites.google.com/site/founddocslisting/ For this report we are also providing a breakdown of cataloging times. 42% of the items cataloged from the February and March, 2010 posted receipts were cataloged between 100 and 200 days. A more detailed breakdown is provided below. less than or equal to 15 days 2(17%) >15 days but less than or equal to 50 days 2(17%) >50 days but less than or equal to 100 days 2(17%) >100 days but less than or equal to 200 days 5(42%) >200 days but less than or equal to 300 days 1(8%) If you report a fugitive document to GPO, please send your e-mailed receipt to lostdocs@freegovinfo.info.

September 2011 Lost Docs Report and Appeal
REPORT For September, we received and posted 4 reports to GPO from librarians reporting documents that had seemingly fallen through the cracks of the cataloging process. The reports were originally sent to GPO during September 2011. This month, of the 4 reported documents posted by us, none have been cataloged for the Catalog of Government Publications (CGP), and these 4 items remain listed as "fugitive documents." To find out more about these fugitive titles visit the Lost Docs Project Blog at lostdocs.freegovinfo.info and view those posts with September 2011 dates. Please remember that our listing of "fugitive documents" reports is only as complete as you make it. APPEAL If you like the concept of a public listing of fugitive documents reported to GPO, there are a number of easy ways to help us:
- If you report a fugitive document to GPO, send your e-mailed receipt to lostdocs@freegovinfo.info. We welcome any item reported to GPO in the past month. It is best if you can send us the receipt the same day you get it from GPO. Some e-mail programs will support auto-forwarding. If so, please consider autoforwarding items where the subject contains "lostdocs submission."
- Visit the blog at lostdocs.freegovinfo.info and comment on the listed items. Comments can include -- Did your library receive the item? Did you find it in the CGP? Do you think the item is out of scope for the CGP? Did you report the item as well and so on.

Update Report on January 2010 Lost Docs
Report/Update In addition to our usual monthly report, we at the Lost Docs Project Blog will from time to time revisit, check, and update posted document receipts that at the time of their corresponding monthly reports were still classed as fugitives. The following report focuses on the receipts posted from January, 2010. They were reported to GPO between August 2008 and January 2010, the majority between December 2009 and January 2010. Of the 85 fugitive document receipts posted January 2010, 29 (34%) of the titles have had records added to the Catalog of Government Publications (CGP), 21 of these have been added since the January 2010 monthly report. Two of the titles we identified as "Preservation Needed". While the low percentage of those cataloged is disappointing, we are appreciative of those records that have been created and added to the CGP. Found documents can be viewed by looking at the blog posts with January 2010 dates http://lostdocs.freegovinfo.info/category/found/ and/or view a listing by visiting https://sites.google.com/site/founddocslisting/ One note, if you pull up the found or fugitive documents on the blog, you may notice that some are marked as both fugitive and found. This means that the receipt was for two formats of a document (usually electronic and paper), and a record has been added to the CGP for one of the formats. For this report we are also providing a breakdown of cataloging times. 36% of the items cataloged from the January 2010 posted receipt titles were cataloged between 200 and 300 days. 15% were cataloged within less than 100 days and 15% between 100 and 200 days. A more detailed breakdown is provided below. Note, these numbers and percentages include those titles with two versions reported. Both versions are represented in the figures below, 33 total. less than or equal to 100 days 5 (15%) >100 days but less than or equal to 200 days 5 (15%) >200 days but less than or equal to 300 days 12 (36%) >300 days but less than or equal to 400 days 4 (12%) >400 days but less than or equal to 500 days 4 (12%) >500 days but less than or equal to 600 days 1 (3%) >600 days but less than or equal to 700 days 1 (3%) >1000 1 (3%) If you report a fugitive document to GPO, please send your e-mailed receipt to lostdocs@freegovinfo.info. We welcome any item reported to GPO in the past month. It is best if you can send us the receipt the same day you get it from GPO. Some e-mail programs will support auto-forwarding.
