Description:Foreword to the revised edition:Rapid change is a commonplace in the digital era, as new technologies overtake the old at dizzying speed. That pace of change is no less true at GPO, where we approach our 155th anniversary now as the Government Publishing Office, having been so designated by the President and Congress in 2014 to recognize our successful use of digital technologies in meeting the needs of our customers for modern information products and services.The publication of this revised edition of Keeping America Informed is appropriate to this occasion, incorporating as it does the work of a robust historical program that has shed new light on key stories from our past, notably GPO'S close connection with President Lincoln, the agency's experience with segregation during the Jim Crow era, a long-forgotten proposal to develop a Government paper mill, an analysis of how big GPO truly was in terms of its equipment and machinery, and a close-up look at GPO'S production of the edited transcripts of the Presidential tapes during the Watergate crisis of the early 1970's. These and other narratives are now documented here, along with additional images from GPO'S extensive photographic library.As Public Printer Boarman pointed out in his foreword to the 2011 edition, Keeping America Informed is first and foremost the story of the men and women who have worked here across the years, and of their remarkable ability to adapt to and master technological change. Gone today are the GPO's former name, and gone, too, is the title of Public Printer as the agency's head. While traditional printing continues as a primary function of the GPO, equally important to our mission today are the maintenance of one of the Government's largest and most heavily used websites, the production of ePassports and eBooks, and the release of official information products in new forms and formats such as mobile apps and bulk data downloads. We continue to pioneer new forms of Government information dissemination with new and emerging technologies. Yet regardless of form or format, GPO's essential task -- carrying out the constitutional informing function that is so vital to the American system of self-government -- remains unchanged. This revised edition of Keeping American Informed updates our continuing story.
