Information for state agencies and institutions.
Louisiana agencies and institutions are required by LRS 25:124 and LAC 7:25:VII:5 to furnish the Recorder of Documents with copies of public documents to meet the needs of the Public Document Depository Program (PDDP), which distributes them to public and academic libraries across the state. The primary purpose of the depository program is to provide the people of Louisiana with access to state publications; the secondary purpose is to create and preserve a complete, centralized, and organized historical record of Louisiana via its state documents.
The success of the Louisiana public documents depository program depends on the conscientious efforts of those state employees who perform the duties as liaison between their agencies and the depository program.
The Handbook provides background information, policies, and procedures for agency and public institution staff designated to serve as liaison officers to the PDDP.
Agency liaison officers must use this form to submit to the Recorder of Documents semiannual reports of their agency's publications.
Agency liaison officers must complete this form to accompany each title sent to the Recorder of Documents for distribution to depository libraries.
All Louisiana depositories receive these publications, in either tangible or digital form. This list of essential titles is periodically reviewed and updated.
Depository libraries are located throughout Louisiana. Use this list to find a depository near you.
