The Commission on the State Publications De-
pository and Distribution Program was created in
1982 (Chapter 912, Acts of 1982). The Commis-
sion oversees the State Publications Depository
and Distribution Program, which is part of the
State Library Resource Center at the Enoch Pratt
Free Library. Under this program, each State

agency is required to furnish the State Library
Resource Center with a sufficient quantity of the
agency's publications for the Center, in turn, to
distribute to designated depository libraries.
These libraries include the State Library Resource
Center, the State Department of Legislative Ref-
erence Library, the Hall of Records, the Mary-
land State Law Library, the McKeldin Library of
the University of Maryland, the U. S. Library of
Congress, and any other library so designated by
the Commission. Each State agency is also re-
quired to designate an agency publications con-
tact person and notify the State Library Resource
Center of the designation.

The Commission is authorized to promote the
effective dissemination and use of State publica-
tions, grant depository status to geographically
dispersed libraries, and adopt rules and policies
for the uniform identification, collection, distribu-
tion, accessibility, and retention of State publica-
tions. It advises the Program in implementing the
purposes of the Commission, provides for access
to State publications, and reports annually to the
Governor on Program operations and effective-
ness.

Appointed by the Governor, the Commission
consists of nine members. Three represent deposi-
tory libraries, three represent State agencies, and
three are appointed from the general public.
While original appointments to the Commission
are for staggered terms, thereafter members will
serve terms of four years. The Commission annu-
ally elects a chairperson (Code Education Article,
secs. 23-2A-01 through 23-2A-05).
