This study on the management and use of state documents is included in the Indiana Library Studies. (Other reports in this series are available as ED 044 131 through 044 145.) Options for improvement and a plan of action for improved government documents management are given based upon studies of: (1) the present management of state documents in the State Library of Indiana; (2) state documents management in other states; and (3) management and use of state documents in Indiana public, academic and school libraries. Eleven recommendations are given to help improve the storage and retrieval of state documents in order to provide better services to the users of these collections. (SG)
