Accuracy and the LSA online

Posted by jstark in Untagged

Did anyone else notice the slight error in the Current List of CFR Parts Affected online? 

What we're looking for is any changes to 49 CFR 578.  According to the online edition of the Current List of CFR Parts Affected, a change was made to part 578.  The change is reflected on page 5224 of the Federal Register.  If you go to the Federal Register online and run a search for that page, you get no hits.  If you go to the print volume of the Federal Register, there is no real 5224, BUT if you look where 5224 would be, there is a LSA.  In that list,  you see there was a change made to Part 578 and it's listed on page 5244. 

So, is this a one-off?  I constantly tell students and patrons that we can absolutely rely on the online materials.  Should I start double-checking myself?

While working on a WWII related reference question, I came across a document that might make a good conversation piece at your depository:

Lewis, George G., and John Mewha. 1955. History of prisoner of war utilization by the United States Army, 1776-1945. Washington: Dept. of the Army. (D 114.19/3:P 93, item 0344-G)

This document was originally produced in 1955. According to the forward:
