The Superintendent of Documents has released Depository Guidance Document 2018-1, Guidelines for Establishing Shared Regional Depository Libraries, which will become effective October 22, 2018.

Authorizing shared regional depository libraries to cross state boundaries is part of the implementation of the National Plan for Access to U.S. Government Information. The Guidelines will allow more flexibility for libraries in managing their depository collections and in providing services to them.

SOD-DGD-2018-1, ‘Guidelines for Establishing Shared Regional Depository Libraries’ supersedes ‘Guidelines for Establishing Intrastate Regional Depository Libraries,’ dated February 12, 2009.
