FDLP 0321

Federal Depository Library No. 0321

 

The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) was established by Congress to ensure that the American public has access to its Government's information. Since 1813, depository libraries have safeguarded the public's right to know by collecting, organizing, maintaining, preserving, and assisting users with information from the Federal Government. The FDLP provides U.S. Government information at no cost to designated depository libraries. These depository libraries, in turn, provide local, no-fee access to Government information in an impartial environment with professional assistance.  MU Libraries have participated in the FDLP since 1862.

MU serves as Regional Federal Depository Library for the State of Missouri. Under Title 44 United States Code, Section 1912, Regional Depositories provide coordination to ensure that at least one tangible copy of each depository document remains in the state, and they provide interlibrary loan, reference service, and collection management assistance to other FDLP libraries in Missouri.  We have Intrastate Regional agreements with several other libraries.  The full agreements are below.
