This excerpt from a speech by Public Printer Bruce James about the GPO’s strategy for collecting, handling and disseminating digital information offers in-plants a look at their own futures as keepers and producers of their organization’s info
Fundamentally, GPO hadn’t been organized around a digital platform. The agency didn’t have a good concept of what that digital platform would look like, and as a result the questions and challenges posed by the digital transformation were left only partly resolved.

Even where GPO’s digital activities were concerned, we were putting data in typesetting codes and formatting the data as replicas of the printed page.
