Introduction

In order to make New York State documents easily accessible to all citizens of the state, the New York State Library established the state depository system in 1955. Through this system approximately 100 libraries throughout the state received a wide variety of documents from the Gift and Exchange Section of the State Library on a regular basis, and the State Library produced bibliographic tools to provide access to these and other state documents The system received little publicity and, due to only partial legislative support, did not include the full range of publications emanating from the many state agencies, offices and departments.

In 1985, the State Library contracted with the New York Library Association/Government Documents Roundtable (NYLA/GODORT) to review and evaluate the New York State depository system and make recommendations for the system's future. After surveying the 98 in-state depository libraries, the NYLA/GODORT Task Force came up with two key recommendations: 1) the establishment of a permanent NYLA/GODORT committee on New York State documents to ensure depository program effectiveness, provide communication links between depository librarians and the State Library, make recommendations on the conduct of the program, help promote awareness and use of New York State documents and to help secure the implementation of other Task Force recommendations; and 2) that the committee's first objective should be to work closely with the State Library and with local libraries to streamline the depository system, resulting in a simplified, more efficiently administered depository system at the state level, a system that maximizes reference and research library resources system interlibrary loan potential, a more inclusive depository program in terms of quantity of documents, and more efficient depository program that combines fewer, but more comprehensive depositories, with improved referral and access capacity statewide. A detailed history of the depository system and full report of the Task Force's work and recommendations was issued in September 1986 and sent to all depository libraries.

A copy of the report, Report and Recommendations to the State Library by the NYLA/GODORT Task Force on the New York State Depository Program, may be purchased at $3.00 per copy from the New York Library Association, 90 South Swan Street, Albany, NY 12210.

In the spring of 1987, the NYLA/GODORT Committee on New York State Documents was formed and after several meetings sent recommendations to the State Library for the reorganization of the depository system along the lines outlined in the 1986 Task Force report. This manual describes this new system, indicates what documents depository libraries can expect to receive, suggests how the documents should be handled, gives information on promoting the use of documents and obtaining or referring patrons to documents the library does not have, and explains the use of several of the basic bibliographic tools for New York State documents. It is hoped that in addition to being a guide to the depository system, the manual will encourage 'libraries to strengthen their New York State documents collections and promote the use of New York documents in all libraries.


Chapter 1

TYPES OF DEPOSITORIES

There are four types of depository libraries for New York State documents within the state:

NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS INFORMATION AND ACCESS CENTERS receive basic bibliographic tools: the Dictionary Catalog of Official Publications of the State of New York, A Checklist of Official Publications of the State of New York and other bibliographic tools designated by the State Library. All New York State Documents Information and Access Centers also receive this manual and any revisions to it. Membership in this group is open to all libraries in the state. New York State Documents Information and Access Centers are able to identify the existence of particular New York State documents and know how to assist patrons in obtaining access to these documents by referral to another library or through interlibrary loan.

NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS REFERENCE CENTERS receive the basic bibliographic tools received by New York State Documents Information and Access Centers plus a short list of reference titles called the "core 'list." There are 100 'libraries designated as New York State Documents Reference Centers. Priority in selection was given to libraries that were depositories under the former system. A minimum of five New York State Documents Reference Center designations is reserved for each of the nine Reference and Research Library Resources regions. These libraries can answer basic questions about New York State documents as well. as assisting patrons in identifying and locating a broader range of state documents.

NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES receive the basic bibliographic tools, the core 'list title and any other documents received by the State Library in quantities sufficient for distribution. A New York State Documents Depository Library will receive a paper copy collection comparable to what full'. depositories received under the former system In the event that the State Library is able to improve its acquisition program the paper connections of these depositories could become quite comprehensive. Shared housing arrangements may be permitted if both libraries meet the selection criteria. There are 20 New York State Documents Depository Libraries, distributed two per region plus two extra for the METRO region

NEW YORK STATE DOCUNENTS RESEARCH DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES receive paper copies of the basic bibliographic tools, and the complete microfiche collection of New York State documents listed in A Checklist of Official Publications of the State of New York. Subject to the State Library's ability to get additional. copies of the core titles, New York State Documents Research Depository Libraries will also receive one paper copy of the core titles. Membership in this group consists of 20 libraries, distributed one per region plus two additional for the METRO region. A New York State Documents Research Depository Library may be a New York State Documents Depository Library as well if it meets the criteria for both classes. Such a double depository would receive both a paper copy and a microfiche copy of the basic bibliographic tools and the core list.


Chapter 2

EXPECTATIONS OF DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES

All categories of depository libraries are expected to have a positive attitude about the value of New York State documents and a desire to participate in the depository network. Each depository library must designate a contact person for the program, whose responsibility it will be to respond to correspondence from the State Library and to ensure that depository requirements are being met. Libraries designated to participate in the depository program will be asked to sign a letter of agreement with the State Library. A library's policies regarding depository services must not be in conflict with the general policies of its reference and research library resources system All depositories must abide by the retention and disposal guidelines promulgated by the State Library and outlined later in this manual.

NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS INFORMATION AND ACCESS CENTERS should know how to use the basic bibliographic tools and be knowledgeable enough about the depository system to make referrals to appropriate depositories and to obtain state documents through interlibrary loan for their own patrons.

NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS REFERENCE CENTERS and NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES, in addition to the above expectations, should be highly visible and open to the general public. They must be willing to place the documents in an easily accessible area and agree to answer in-person and telephone reference queries. These should be libraries which actively inform the public of their services, and the availability of information on New York State should be one of the services they publicize.

NEW YORK STATE DOCUNENTS DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES must also have sufficient staff to process the documents promptly and sufficient space to accommodate them adequately. They should express a commitment to training their staff in the reference use of New York State documents and be willing to fill interlibrary loan requests from other libraries.

NEW YORK DOCUMENTS RESEARCH DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES, in addition to the above expectations, must assume particular responsibilities related to the microfiche format of their depository documents. They must own microfiche readers and a microfiche reader/printer. For interlibrary loan purposes these libraries must be able to provide either fiche-to-fiche copies or paper copies, or be willing to loan the original microfiche. They must have proper storage facilities for the microfiche and sufficient staff to process and maintain the microfiche collection which requires interfacing upon receipt.

When selecting depository 'libraries, the following factors may also be taken into account: location of the library in relation to centers of population and other depository libraries; experience of the staff with documents from New York State and other jurisdictions; extent of bibliographic access provided for documents; willingness to purchase commercial publications which relate to and enhance the depository collection; whether or not the library is a public library; number of hours per week the library is open; and reputation for good service and outreach programs.


Chapter 3

SELECTION OF DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES

The selection of the initial group of depositories to participate in the system as it was revised in 1988, was based on the recommendations of screening committees in each of the nine Reference and Research Library Resources regions. Each committee included representatives of all major types of libraries with the NYLA/GODORT New York State Documents Committee member from the region serving as a consultant or resource person

Interested libraries submitted applications for depository status to these committees The screening committee reviewed applications for NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS INFORMATION AND ACCESS CENTER status, which is open to all libraries; ranked the applications for NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS REFERENCE CENTER status according to the selection criteria outlined here in Chapter 2 (and in the description of the depository system that accompanied the application, see Appendix B2); and recommended two libraries (four in the METRO region) for NEW YORK DOCUMENTS DEPOSITORY LIBRARY status and the same number for NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS RESEARCH DEPOSITORY LIBRARY status. Applying libraries ranked the four depository types in order of preference (see application, Appendix Bl) and if not recommended for their first choice were considered for their second choice and so on.

Libraries interested in participating as Information and Access Centers in the future will be accepted upon the filing of an application form. As of February 1989, there are no vacancies in other levels of depository status. Applications will be kept on file until vacancies occur The State Library will consult with Reference and Research Library Resources Systems should it become possible to accommodate additional members in the depository program.

DOCUMENTS RECEIVED

A. NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS INFORMATION AND ACCESS CENTERS: BASIC BIBLIOGRAPHIC TOOLS

NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENT INFORMATION AND ACCESS CENTERS will receive the basic bibliographic tools which provide access to New York State documents. These can be used to verify the existence of particular documents and to provide complete and current citations to documents. With this information you may be able to locate the documents in your own library, refer patrons to other libraries with New York State documents collections, or obtain the document through interlibrary loan. All titles in the Dictionary Catalog and also in the Checklist since January 1987 can be found in The OCLC database; many of the titles from earlier Checklists may also be found in OCLC. Therefore, OCLC can be used to determine some of the libraries that hold particular documents. In addition, the State Library has copies of all publications listed in these sources.

C. NEW YORK STATES DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES: FULL PAPER COLLECTION

The exact titles to be sent to NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES cannot be listed with certainty However, in addition to the basic bibliographic tools and the core collection described in the earlier sections, NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES can anticipate receiving approximately ten linear feet of documents during a year.

The State Library will make every effort to obtain the copies of all significant documents needed for all 20 NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES. All depositories of this type will receive the same documents so some documents will not be appropriate to some types of libraries, but depositories are expected to keep and make all documents available to the public for at least five years.

THE NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS RESEARCH DEPOSITORY LIBRARIIES: MICROFICHE COLLECTION.

NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS RESEARCH DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES receive publications of the State of New York supplied in microfiche by the New York State Library. This collection is based upon A Checklist of Official Publication of the State of New York which is sent to all depository libraries. The microfiche reproduces the texts of all documents cited in the Checklist except those that are copyrighted. This collection includes the basic bibliographic tools and the core reference collection titles. Beginning with materials in the January 1989 Checklist, the microfiche is shipped once a month and it is anticipated that the collection will take up about six linear feet of cabinet space per year.

NEW YORK STATE RESEARCH DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES will also receive paper copies of the basic bibliographic tools and, if the State Library receives sufficient copies, the core collection titles.

Research Publications, Inc. produced microform collections of documents in the Checklist from 1974 through 1988. The documents were reproduced on microfilm between September 1974 and December 1982. Documents listed in Checklists dated January 1983 through December 1988 are available on microfiche. information on the documents on microfilm is provided in Official Publications of the State of New York, 1974-1982: Guide to the Microfilm Collection, compiled by Irvin We Kron and Diane Eidelman (Research Publications, 1984)

Margaret Rich of SUNY Brockport has compiled a series entitled Subject Index to New York State Publications (Research Publications Edition). Arranged by broad subject index categories, the index provides title and New York State documents classification number. Volumes are available for 1980, 1981, 1982, 19839 1984/85 1986, 1987 and 1988.

Libraries interested in purchasing the microfiche collection from the State Library (1989) may request details from Mary Redmond, Principal Librarian for Legislative/Governmental Services, New York State Library, Cultural Education Center, Albany, NY 12230; telephone 518-474-3940.

Copies may be purchased for $10 per volume from Drake Memorial Library, State University College, Brockport, NY 14420. Make checks payable to Drake Memorial Library.


Chapter 5

DEPOSITORY PROCEDURES

A. Contact Person

In order to increase efficiency and avoid duplication of effort, each member of the depository system must designate one contact person from its staff who will receive all communications from the State Library about the depository program. Inquiries or other communications from the depository should also come from this person.

B. Correspondence with the State Library

All correspondence about the depository system, including claims and disposal lists, should be directed to:

Mary Redmond
Principal Librarian
Legislative/Governmental Services
New York State Library
Cultural Education Center
Albany, New York 12230
Phone: 518-474-3940

C. Depository Shipments and Claims

A shipping list will accompany shipments to NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENMTS DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES. This list gives titles of all documents included in each shipment. Check the contents of the' box against the shipping list as soon as it arrives. If any publication is missing, claim it immediately. Delay in claiming could mean that the document will no longer be available.

Every effort should be made to process depository shipments within ten working days from the date of receipt. Each document should be marked clearly to indicate that the material is a New York State depository publication along with the date of receipt and the library's name.

D. Organization and Accessibility

Depository collections may be kept separate, integrated with other library materials, or a combination of the two. For example, you may keep pamphlet material in the pamphlet files, periodicals with other periodicals, etc. If you decide to keep all or part of your New York State documents in a separate collection, you may wish to arrange them by the New York State Library

Classification System. A description of this classification system can be found in Appendix F of this manual.

You may also decide whether the depository collection should be circulated or restricted to library use only. Whatever organization method and circulation policy you use, all depository publications should be easily accessible to all members of the community. NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES and NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS RESEARCH DEPOSITOIRY LIBRARIES must also make all documents available for interlibrary loan or photocopy.

E. Bibliographic Control

An accurate record of depository publications received should be kept. This could be in the form of a card or computer file arranged in agency, title or call number order.

All types of depository libraries are expected to have a workable method for retrieving depository documents. Cataloging is encouraged.

There are OCLC bibliographic records for all New York State documents listed in A Checklist of Official Publications of the State of New York. Since October 1, 1987, these records have included the New York State Library document classmark in the 086 field. This wil1 make it easier for those libraries wishing to maintain a separate collection of New York State documents.

If you choose not to catalog some or all documents, you may depend on other bibliographic tools produced by the State Library such as the Checklist and the Dictionary Catalog (see Chapter 4 for a full description of these titles) or other bibliographic tools available from commercial sources.

F. Retention and Disposal of Documents

All NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS RESEACH DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES, those receiving the microfiche collection, should expect to keep the collection permanently or as long as they retain their research depository status. If their research depository status ceases, they should expect to return the depository microfiche to the State Library.

All other members of the depository system are required to retain depository publications for a minimum of five years except those publications superseded by later editions, those replaced by cumulated volumes or those with outdated information. The annotated list of core reference publications in Chapter 4 indicates retention requirements for each of these titles. Although libraries may dispose of depository documents after five years, most will want to retain permanently such titles as New York Laws and Vital Statistics.

New York State Documents Access and Information Centers, New York State

Documents Reference Centers, and New York State Documents Depository Libraries may dispose of depository publications after five years by notifying the State Library of their desire to discard some documents. The State Library may ask for a list of the unwanted documents and may request that the availability of these documents be advertised within the region.

G. Surveys, Inspections and Review of Depository Status

All depository libraries are expected to respond promptly to State Library questionnaires regarding their depository collection and services. There will be periodic inspections of all depositories except Information and Access Centers. These inspections are designed to assist libraries in carrying out the goals of the depository program. Inspectors from the State Library will observe and evaluate the maintenance and servicing of the depository collection. After the inspection, the inspector will provide the depository library with both oral and written evaluations.

If any depository is found not to be meeting basic criteria, the State Library may place the library on probation. If no effort is made to correct deficiencies, the State Library can take away the library's depository status.


Chapter 6

PUBLICIZING AND ENCOURAGING USE OF DEPOSITORY COLLECTIONS

by Donald Voorhees, Corning Community College

Virtually all documents librarians will agree that their collections receive less use than they should. The problem is, how does a library convert a pile of valuable (but under-appreciated) government publications into an active resource?

WITHIN THE LIBRARY

As discussed in Chapter 5, accessibility of the collection is absolutely crucial. Whether documents are kept in a separate collection, integrated with other library materials, or a combination of the two, ideally most would be fully processed and appear in your main catalog. This makes them easy to locate and particularly helps the "self-service" patron who is reluctant to approach a librarian. If full cataloging is impractical due to staff time or cost, inclusion of general subject cards (e.g. - RETURNABLE BOTTLE LEGISLATION - SEE NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS COLLECTION) is an acceptable substitutes Certain titles are obviously well suited for inclusion in an existing pamphlet file, which provides a ready-made group of subject headings.

Along with this, displays of documents on a topic of current interest almost always generate interest. This should be accompanied by a brochure describing the library's services.

In a large library, never neglect your colleagues as allies in your crusade to encourage use. If you have a separate documents collection, be sure that reference librarians, circulation clerks, and others who answer informational or directional requests are aware of the collection.

Depositories with microfiche collections face special problems: even the most enthusiastic documents user has a tough time getting cozy with a fiche reader! Encourage your staff to stress that fiche is a viable alternative to paper publications. Ease the antipathy of most users by providing adequate numbers of fiche reader/printers in an area with comfortable seating, adequate workspace, and proper lighting.

If this is not enough, encourage your administration to acquire a few portable fiche readers. Currently, several models are available for under $200.00. Many readers who cannot cope with fiche in your library may in their own office or home. The practicality of this obviously depends on your own circulation policies.

SPREADING THE WORD

Getting information about documents to potential users can be difficult, but many means are available if you are willing to be inventive. On a college campus (or other institution with internal mail facilities), notification is fairly easily built into the handling process. A Rolodex or similar file of persons interested in specific subjects can be maintained with little effort As relevant titles are received, a note of some kind can be sent to the persons who might be interested. This can be done automatically by the processing clerk.

Specific members of the community can be similarly targeted. These might include area businesses, planning agencies, local legislators, etc The specific list will of course vary with your own circumstances. Non-profit agencies shouted not be forgotten when creating this lists

For the larger community, the value of brochures and other publicity tools should not be underestimated. The State Library will provide brochures describing the depository system. These can be used alone or in conjunction with locally-produced flyers, bibliographies and other material.

A logo has been designed for the depository system. It can be used as a unifying feature on brochures, library displays, signs indicating the location of the documents collection, and any other publicity for your depository collection and services.

THIS LIBRARY IS
A MEMBER
OF THE
NEW YORK STATE
DOCUMENT
DEPOSITORY
PROGRAM

An often overlooked source of potential users is your local school system. As part of the redesign of the New York State depository system, school libraries are being actively encouraged to receive the basic bibliographic tools. This helps them to inform their faculty members and students about the availability of specific agency publications. Since relatively few schools joined the program, depositories have the opportunity to encourage-their participation. The BOCES School Library Systems have tended to be extremely cooperative in this kind of endeavor. Several have participated in continuing education programs involving documents and have greatly appreciated notification about specific titles. If your staff includes someone who likes this kind of activity, the possibilities are almost endless.

The State Library and the NYLA/GODORT New York State Document Committee will be developing materials and workshops to inform librarians about the ways to use and publicize New York State documents. Suggestions and examples of successful publicity efforts are welcomed by the State Library and the committee.

A FINAL NOTE

If your efforts do not generate overnight success, don't despair. It takes time to create a constituency. Build on a few satisfied users. They can be your best allies.


Chapter 7

OBTAINING NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENTS

A. Interlibrary Loan

New York State Document Depository Libraries and New York State Documents Research Depository Libraries have agreed to make all New York State documents received through the depository system available for interlibrary loan or photocopy. Consult the list of depositories by type and region Appendix Al, to identify these depositories in your region. If these libraries are unable to provide the documents you desire, request them through interlibrary loan from the New York State Library.

B. State Agencies

New York State documents are often available free or for purchase from the issuing agency. Addresses of some of the major agencies are included in Appendix E. Much more complete listings of addresses can be found in the Legislative Manual (described in Chapter 4) or the New York Red Book (listed in Appendix D2). A Checklist of Official Publications of the State of New York lists state publications and indicates whether they are sent to depositories. Be sure to give full bibliographic citations when requesting publications from agencies.

C. Commercial Publications

Many publications containing information about the activities of the state government are published commercially. This is especially true of legal materials such as laws, regulations, decisions and opinions of various courts and agencies. A list of major commercial publications can be found in Appendix D2. These must be purchased directly from the publishers.

Some of these commercial publications, most notably the New York Red Book and McKinney's Consolidated Laws of New York, can be found in large libraries throughout the state. However, many others will be found only in research libraries or law libraries.
