The depository program at the Arkansas State Library provides a central, permanent collection of state government publications.
Publications are made available at the local level through distribution of documents to designated state depository libraries.
The State Library creates and maintains bibliographic access to state publications, and also assists state government and the general public with accessing the collections.
The value of the State Depository Program increases as more publications are provided by State Agencies and State Supported Educational Institutions.
The Arkansas State Library relies on its Agency Liaisons to submit publications.
Agency Liaisons are designated by the agency director or educational institution’s chancellor/president.
