contents State Documents Collection in Oklahoma. Tomberlin, Irma R. College Libraries Depository Libraries Government Publications Guidelines Library Surveys Library Technical Processes Public Libraries Questionnaires Special Libraries State Government A questionnaire was distributed to a selected group of Oklahoma academic, public, and special libraries to survey their patterns of acquisition, organization, and reference use of Oklahoma state documents collections. Findings revealed serious deficiencies in the provision of current, comprehensive, and well organized collections of Oklahoma documents due to a wide variety of acquisition methods, organizational procedures, and methods of use. Recommendations were made which, if implemented, could provide improved bibliographic control and more effective access to publications. These included designating the Oklahoma Department of Libraries as the central collection and distribution agency for all official Oklahoma publications, drafting legislation for a new deposit law which would bring the number of copies to be deposited in the libraries to a more realistic figure, and the publication and distribution to all libraries in the State of a regular checklist of titles received by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. The appendices include guidelines developed for minimum state servicing of state documents, current laws pertaining to the depositing of state documents in Oklahoma, the survey questionnaire, and a list of the libraries participating in the survey.
