If you have identified a Federal publication that is not in the Catalog of Government Publications (CGP) and was not distributed through the FDLP, you may have found a "fugitive" document, sometimes known as a "lostdoc" or GPO's preferred term "document discovery". Document discovery items can be reported to GPO through the askGPO system. Please select the category "Federal Depository Libraries" and the subcategory "Fugitive publications/lost doc" to direct your request to the GPO acquisition staff for processing. In the past, GPO's direction was to use the "lost docs" reporting form available on the FDLP desktop. However, acquisition staff have found that askGPO requests for document discovery are easier to track. Therefore, askGPO is now the preferred method. When submitting a document discovery item, please include as much of the following information to better process your request: Title / Government publisher / Publishing date / URL where the publication is located / GPO-assigned SuDoc number, and/or Item number (if known) / OCLC number (if known for an existing bibliographic record of the resource)
