摘　　要：美国联邦政府在立国后不久就将一些政府出版物寄存在一些图书馆里让人们查阅,在19世纪中叶设立了"政府印刷局"统一负责联邦政府出版物的印刷和发行,不久又设立了政府出版物在图书馆的寄存制度,并且沿袭至今。这套政府出版物的发行和寄存制度成为美国政府信息公开的主要渠道,也为社会各行各业的发展做出了极大的贡献。中国可以吸取的经验包括:成立政府文献研究分会,完善和扩充政府公报内容,试行政府出版物寄存制度,建立政府信息导航,鼓励出版社和信息公司编辑和出版政府信息等。Soon after the United States was founded, the United States government deposited some of the federal government publications in some designated libraries for people to use. In the mid of 19 century, the U.S. government set up the Government Printing Office （GPO） as a central agency to be responsible to print and disseminate all federal government publications. Soon after the GPO was founded, the GPO established a federal depository library system that lasts until today. This government information publishing and depository system became a main channel to disseminate U.S. government information and contributed a great deal for the advancements of the society in all sectors. Five recommendations for China include： establishing a government information research association under the Chinese Library Society, expanding and perfecting the government gazettes, experimenting the government information depository system with public libraries, establishing portals for government information on the internet; and encouraging publishers and information companies to provide editorial enhanced government information.
