Excerpt from State Documents for Libraries

The official literature of the states of the American union constitutes a body of material which may be of great value to libraries. Its use has been seriously hampered by the lack of uniformity which characterizes our state governments and their activities. Without attempting to resolve the complexities of political organization it is believed that the presenting of certain facts and data will lessen the confusion surrounding state affairs and make; more accessible the records, statistics and knowledge contained in state documents.

The pages that follow aim to define the scope and form of state documents, to suggest their value to libraries, to indicate the manner in which they may best be treated, and to throw light on, the methods of securing them. The book is designed as a guide rather than as a cheek-list or a list of document serials, altho representative lists of a few important series and titles which occur in practically all of the states are included. The law compilations are given because they are the most valuable single titles and are likely in most eases to remain standard for considerable time; the blue books appear because they are the most important serial publications and because each deserves a place among the general almanacs and reference books in the libraries of its state; the reports of education departments are included simply as illustrating the degree of uniformity likely to be found among the publications of departments which have a general correspondence in function.

The present work has grown out of a course in state documents given in the senior year at the University of Illinois Library School, the writer having felt that such parts of this course as could be put into printed form might be of value to librarians as well as to students. The descriptions, lists, and bibliographies are based chiefly on the collections in the University of Illinois Library.

The term document as employed here includes all official literature which is printed and published by or for a state, or of which an edition is bought by a state for distribution. It thus excludes manuscripts and archives, and ignores the distinctions which might arise were the various plans and systems of publication to be considered.
