The homepage for the U.S. Federal Depository Library Program was altered to show a picture of a bloodied President Donald Trump being punched in the face before the website was taken down.

A spokesperson for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is a division of the Department of Homeland Security, said the source of the hack could not yet be confirmed.

"We are aware the website of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) was defaced with pro-Iranian, anti-US messaging," the spokesperson said in a statement to Newsweek. "At this time, there is no confirmation that this was the action of Iranian state-sponsored actors. The website was taken off line and is no longer accessible. CISA is monitoring the situation with FDLP and our federal partners."

From SFGate:  Hackers claimed responsibility

The actors behind the apparent attack, which resulted in the website being taken offline for hours, identified themselves as "Iran Cyber Security Group Hackers" and warned that their work was "only a small part of Iran's cyber ability."

"This is message from Islamic Republic Of Iran"

Sighthound Sunday: Government Documents

"Government Documents" is a term used to refer to any sort of material produced by a government (legal, legislative, statistical data, books and reports, research studies, consumer guides, archival material) in any format. They cover a wide variety of topics and can be a great primary source document to use in your research paper.

There is an official program through which federal documents are shared with the public called the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP).  The FDLP distributes publications, printed or received by the Government Publishing Office (GPO), to libraries that elect to serve as depositories.

Oberlin College Library has been a member of the FDLP since 1858. As a selective depository, we receive material from the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the government in a variety of formats including paper, microfiche, and CD-ROM. You will find records for the items we have in print in the library catalog OBIS. The actual items will be shelved on the 4th floor by their SuDoc number Y 4.IN 8/19:S.HRG.113-601. Today many of the documents are published electronically and can be accessed from government site online or in databases.
