  • Provide free printing or photocopying. Your depository library may charge the same fees for printing and photocopying depository information resources that it charges for non-depository materials to be copied or printed. Downloading, however, MUST be available without fees. Your depository library is not required to provide storage media, such as floppies or USB drives, unless they are provided for users of non-depository materials. In that case, the same charges may be applied.
  • Circulate depository materials. Your depository library has the option of establishing its own circulation policies for the use of depository materials outside the library.
  • Maintain identical public service hours at the general reference and documents service desks.
