SD State & Federal Government Publication Depositories
South Dakota State Government Publications are collected by the SD State Library in digital and paper (when available). Paper copies are placed in the state government collections at the State Library and digital publications are made available via the statewide library catalog and are also searchable via internet search engines. Laws and Administrative Rules related to the program are located at (SDCL 14-1A 
and ARSD 24:30:07:06 ). Depository libraries may dispose of materials which are more than five years old or are superseded by newer editions or cumulations.
Descriptions of many but not all South Dakota Government Publications are included in the SDLN catalog, which may be searched by author, title, or subject. State Government publications are shelved according to the South Dakota Classification Schedule.
United States Government Publications are received by nine South Dakota libraries as selective depositories in the Federal Depository Library Program. Included among these libraries is the South Dakota State Library, which has been a part of the Federal Depository Library Program since 1973. Currently, the State Library receives about 36% of the documents published annually by the Government Printing Office (GPO).
Descriptions of United States Government Publications are included in the SDLN catalog and the Catalog of Government Publications. For recent years, virtually all United States Government Publications in the State Library's collection are described there.
