September 2011---Public Printer Bill Boarman appeared on the Washington NBC affiliate's Viewpoint program. NBC 4's anchor Jim Handly spoke with Public Printer Boarman about GPO's 150th anniversary celebration, and the important work employees do for Congress, The White House, and Federal agencies.
Great video for showing the history and importance of the GPO. The amount of work and hours the employees put in is remarkable and it really shows in the products they produce. One problem i agree with is that ebooks are becoming more prevalent and that could hurt the longevity of some of these documents.

Hard copy books are soooo important! In fact, we need to be ever vigilant of people like PBS that wants to burn hard copy books, (so to speak) and put books entirely on e-book form on the internet. That is bizarre and repulsive, as an ebook could be deleted and forgotten in one minute but the hard copy could remain for a longer time than any human....

Great for providing background on the agency. I'll be using this in my gov docs workshops for librarians.
