Value of State Publications and Depository Program
State publications are valuable:
- as sources of statistical, regulatory, educational and consumer information;
- as guides to the programs, services and activities of agencies;
- as a historical record of publicly funded activities.
The depository program:
- ensures long term availability of publications;
- ensures access to all through the WYLD system;
- enables state agencies to communicate their programs to citizens.
