(a) The state librarian shall periodically publish and distribute to complete depository libraries, selective depository libraries, state agencies, state officers and members of the Kansas legislature, an official list of state publications with at least an annual cumulation.  Said official list shall provide a record of each agency's publications and shall show, in addition, the author, title, major subject content and other appropriate catalogue information for any such publication.  Annually each state agency shall furnish to the state library a complete list of their publications for the previous year which the state librarian shall use to maintain a permanent record of publications.

(b) To be designated as a complete depository library any Kansas resource library, regional public library, libraries in institutions of higher education or other libraries must contract with the state librarian agreeing at a minimum to provide adequate facilities for the storage and use of any such publication and to render reasonable service without charge to qualified patrons in the use of such publication and to maintain its full collection of such publications indefinitely subject to disposal upon approval by the state librarian.  Any library designated as a complete depository shall receive one copy of every state publication deposited with the Kansas state library.  Any library designated as a selective depository shall receive only copies of publications which such library requests.
