A State Plan serves as a record of cooperative agreement and shared responsibililty among depository libraries. As depository coordinators retire and others take their places, the Plan informs new coordinators of his/her library's role within the state. Drafting of the Plan is a collective effort by depository coordinators in consultation with library directors, and is put into effect by way of a vote of depository libraries in the state. The 2013 was approved by a unanimous voice vote at the 2013 MO FDLP Annual Conference and by absentee email voting.
