Titles that LATECH and LSU agreed to retain from the 1991 publication “Regional
Libraries Superseded Decisions, 1989-1991.”Other titles that the Regional
Libraries have decided to retain. (Selective Libraries will receive a list of
any titles that Regional Libraries retain based on local retention policy
decisions. This list will be modified semi-annually, if needed).
Note:
If a library supplements or replaces depository material by purchasing the same
title in another format, e.g., microform or CD-ROM, the depository items cannot
be bartered or exchanged and must be offered to the regional library if the
purchasing library wishes to dispose of them. Under these circumstances, the
discarding library does not need to adhere to the five-year retention period but
may offer the depository items at the time of replacement.
Selective libraries wishing to withdraw documents should consult the Federal Depository Library Handbook for general rules on how to treat withdrawn material. It should be noted that no library is required to discard any depository library materials.CHANGE FROM: Superseded items included on discard lists at the request of Louisiana’s Regional Depositories are an exception to the five-year rule.
CHANGE TO: Exceptions to this rule include superseded items and tangible items being replaced by online equivalents. Details of these exceptions can be found in "Addendum XXX" [An addendum would be created explaining these exceptions.]
On September 28, 2007, LSU's Middleton Library Celebrated its 100th Year as a Federal Depository Library.
Invited guests included local dignitaries,
representatives from other Louisiana
depository libraries, friends of the LSU
libraries, the LSU community and the general
public. LSU received a crystal plaque from the Government Printing Office to honor the school’s public service. Numerous displays highlighting the resources available in government documents were mounted throughout the LSU Libraries, and a reception was held following the formal presentations and acknowledgments.
