Section 3020.240  Termination of Depository Status

a)         A depository has the right to terminate its status as a depository by a letter from the depository’s governing authority to the Director of the Illinois State Library.  The Director may terminate the status of a library as a depository if the requirements of Section 3020.210 and 3020.220 are not met.  At termination, the library will request instructions from the State Library about the disposition of the depository publications on hand.

b)        If a depository library wishes to challenge the termination of its depository status, the depository must request a hearing within one month after termination notice from the State Library.  The members of the hearing committee will be the Director of the State Library, the Government Documents Coordinator,  and two representatives from two separate depositories, who have been mutually agreed upon by the Director of the Illinois State Library and the depository library challenging termination. The majority decision of this committee concerning the termination of the depository library will be final.
