An electronic products list
has been made available to purchasers who need the original coded
version of a document or set of documents, as well as those who are
interested in reproducing and reselling the information. Diskettes
include printing instructions or codes as well as text. However, they
DO NOT include illustrations, graphic designs, and
documents that were photographed to be printed.
No stock of these products is available on hand at GPO for filling
customer orders. Each of these products is created on demand, after
an order has been placed by the customer.
For users interested in using electronic information solely for reference
purposes, many electronic products on this list are available as free
online databases through GPO Access, a service of the U.S.
Government Printing Office.
Prices for electronic products are per diskette or sets, not per
title. A title may consist of multiple magnetic tapes/diskettes. Some
electronic products are also available via File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) transmission.
Electronic Product orders will be sent by First Class postage. Federal
Express is available at an additional charge by providing a Federal
Express or credit card account number.
