Texas State Documents: The Development of a Program.
Propp, Dale; Walton, Robert
This report has been prepared in order to assist those interested in learning more about the Texas State Publications Clearinghouse, to allow the staff to review the program's strengths and weaknesses, and to reassess goals and objectives for the future. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of how the program evolved, Section One presents the historical development of both the nature and scope of the State Library's Texas documents activities, culminating with the creation of the Texas State Publications Clearinghouse in 1977. Section Two is a more detailed look at current key activities with special attention given to growth and expansion since 1974 in areas of programming such as microforms, indexing, distribution, the permanent collection and publications. Future goals and objectives are set forth in Section Three, including: (1) improving subject access to documents; (2) acquiring new types of documents; (3) increasing the availability of documents through the distribution of microforms; (4) providing increased assistance to depository libraries; (5) increasing Clearinghouse contact with depository libraries; and (6) improving bibliographic control. Section Four is a review of the program. A list of Texas State Depository libraries is appended. (Author/AP).
