Actually, two copies are supposed to be sent for materials published in the US. Foreign publishers who distribute materials in the US are supposed to send one copy. But yes, not everything received via copyright deposit is kept, or if kept is cataloged. Not sure why. Perhaps some materials aren't seen as helping to fulfill the Library's "mission."
