Abstract

In April, 1981, the Depository Library Council to the Public Printer, an advisory body appointed by the United States Assistant Public Printer, recommended that the Superintendent of Documents encourage each state to develop a statewide plan for federal documents depository coordination. With the increase in documents distribution to depository libraries and the growing problems experienced by regional depositories in handling their responsibilities, a cooperative plan was deemed necessary “to bolster the regional depositories' capabilities to serve their state missions in order to assure that federal documents are available throughout the United States on an equal and expeditious basis.” The Superintendent of Documents agreed, and in October, 1981 he officially recommended the development of state plans.
