Scope

The Checklist of Official Publications of the State of New York is a monthly compilation of New York State documents acquired by the New York State Library. Citations are arranged in New York State Document Classification System (NYDoCS) call number order. Each citation is assigned a sequential number beginning with 1 in the first issue of each year. From 1992 on, serial issues received during the year cumulate with each appearance in the Checklist. From 1997 on, Checklist citations may also contain one or more of the following flags to assist readers:

Core Title - A core reference title distributed through the Document Depository Program.
Correction - A previously checklisted item corrected and re-checklisted in a later issue.
New Agency - A new or changed agency name or NYDoCS agency code.
New Serial - A serial title appearing for the first time in an issue of the Checklist.
Not Scanned - An item not available electronically from the State Library.


Depository Publications

Each Checklist citation contains a depository publication code indicating titles which have been distributed under the New York State Document Depository Program. These codes appear in the serial holdings field or, for all other materials, following the OCLC number. From 1997 on, these codes also appear on the first line, after the NYDoCS number. One or more of the following codes (types of depository libraries described below) may be used:

D = New York State Documents Depository Library
R = New York State Documents Research Depository Library
C = New York State Documents Reference Center
I = New York State Documents Information and Access Center
X = Not available for distribution
E = Acquired by the New York State Library in electronic format
