Idaho Commission for Libraries

What is the best way to send us your publications?

You have several choices:

Building a Complete & Comprehensive Historical Collection

One goal of the State Depository Program is to build a complete and comprehensive collection of publications produced by state government agencies at the Idaho Historical Society, Public Archives & Research Library. This helps document the activities and interests of state government over time and serves as a useful resource for internal government operations as well as for citizen access.

A Common Goal

Your agency and our depository program share a common goal: getting information about your agency to the people of Idaho.

Still, it can be hard to remember what procedures to follow, especially if you produce only a few publications each year. This webpage offers some suggestions for setting up a distribution system that includes twenty copies for the Idaho Commission for Libraries.

• "Why so many?"
• "Do you give them away to people visiting the library?"
• "We didn't print very many, so is two or three okay?"
• "Do you want extra copies?"

Welcome! This page is intended for State Depository library staff who process shipments, claim, and catalog State Documents received through the Depository system. The Shipping List might also be of interest to individuals looking for the most recent State Document titles being processed at the Idaho Commission for Libraries.
