Two new online Federal information resources were just announced through the Federal Depository Library Program:

1. The 2007 Privacy Act Issuances are now available through GPO Access and the Office of the Federal Register web site.  The Privacy Act Issuances contain descriptions of Federal agency systems of records maintained on individuals, and rules agencies follow to assist individuals who request information about their records. The two sources of Privacy Act Notices are: the Privacy Act Issuances (Compilations  1995-Forward) and the Federal Register, which has updates to the most recent Compilation. Previous editions are available as ASCII text files on GPO Access.
2. The New Member Pictorial Directory: 111th Congress is now available on GPO Access. The full pictorial directory is also available.   Published biennially by the Joint Committee on Printing of the U.S. Congress, the Congressional Pictorial Directory provides a color photograph of each member of the House of Representatives and the Senate. It also includes information about a Member of Congress' length of service, political party affiliations, and Congressional district. Additional photos include pictures of the President, Vice President, and House and Senate officers and officials.
