9.10 Important for Library Administrators

  • Because all Government publications supplied to your depository library under the FDLP remain the property of the U.S. Government, publications MUST be housed in a manner that facilitates access, preservation, and protection from theft. Your depository library MUST, at a minimum, provide the same care and maintenance of depository materials as it gives to commercially purchased publications.
  • Your depository library MUST post the depository emblem in a prominent location, preferably visible from the exterior of the library, indicating the library is a Federal depository and Government information products are available for use by the general public without charge.
  • All facilities housing depository materials should meet the standards set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
