Goal: To ensure that our physical facilities support the use and access of the collections, depository materials are given appropriate housing, equipment is available to view government publications available in all media, and proper signage is in place to support access to depository materials.
Purpose: The federal depository libraries in the Maryland-Delaware-District of Columbia Region affirm their commitment to provide adequate physical facilities for the access and use of depository resources as described by Physical Facilities and Collection Maintenance and outlined below. In each of these cases, libraries will meet these challenges by serving as advocates to our institutional decision makers for the FDLP and our visitors. Libraries will devise plans and implement them whenever possible.
