The Commission on the State Publications De-
pository and Distribution Program was created in

distribute to designated depository libraries. These
libraries include the State Library Resource
Center, the Department of Legislative Reference
Library, the State Archives, the Maryland State
Law Library, the McKeldin Library of the Uni-
versity of Maryland, the U.S. Library of Congress,
and any other library designated by the Commis-
sion. As of April 1987, the following ten addition-
al libraries had been granted depository status:
Salisbury State College Library; Government Ref-
erence Service of the Washington County Free Li-
brary; Montgomery County Public Libra-
ry— Rockville Branch; Frostburg State College
Library; Southern Maryland Regional Library at
La Plata; Towson State University Library; Uni-
versity of Maryland Baltimore County Library;
Langsdale Library of the University of Baltimore;
Prince George's Community College Library; and
University of Maryland Eastern Shore Library.
Each State agency is also required to designate an
agency publications contact 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
duties 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.
Members serve four-year terms (Code Education
Article, sees. 23-2A-01 through 23-2A-05).
