The New York State Depository System Two Years after the Revision; An Interim Survey.
Yukawa, Masako
The purpose of the study reported here was to determine the effectiveness of the revised New York State Depository System, which had been operating for more than two years when the survey was conducted. Data were gathered from the depository libraries about their organization, bibliographic control and staffing, and to determine whether or not they were satisfied with their current depository status (federal, county, local town/village, or other) and with the instruction provided in the "New York State Depository Manual." The survey instrument was a questionnaire sent to 302 libraries, including academic, public, law, and school libraries, with an overall response rate of 53%. The introduction to this report outlines the revision and the methodology. The data are presented in the following divisions: New York State Depository and Libraries; organization of the New York State Depository Collection; opinions on the New York State Depository Collection; effectiveness of instruction given to depositories; educational opportunities; satisfaction with the current Depository status; professional organization membership; and additional comments. General observations and recommendations based on the findings are then listed, followed by a concluding statement. The revision was found to be a success and was well accepted by the participating libraries. The survey instrument is appended. (JLB)
