Agreed.  They are very quick, and happy to make the changes.  I've also submitted requests to get a PURL made for links that are either simply PDFs or direct link - sometimes up to 10 at a time.  They are always done in a timely manner.

Mark,
 
I recently reported a bad PURL to AskGPO:
 
The PURL was corrected and I got an email notification within about 15 minutes.  I was impressed.

Subject: [SERIALST] who to report PURL errors to?
 
We have come across a PURL, http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS66801, which is going to a .org site when it should be .gov . Who maintains PURLs and how do I ask them to fix it?
 
 
Thanks!
