Section 3020.230  Inspection of Depositories

a)         The Director of the Illinois State Library, or a designated representative, shall visit and inspect the depositories every five years to assure the State Library the depository is providing public access and adequate maintenance to the publications.  Maintenance is adequate if it is does not contribute to the physical deterioration of the deposited material.

b)         The Director of the State Library shall also receive, in conjunction with the inspections, written reports from the depository libraries containing the program of administration for access and maintenance of the publications.  The written report shall include information concerning library personnel, depository publication statistics, circulating rules, cataloging and processing procedures and equipment and storage facilities.
