Since 1850, the California State Library has collected publications of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, commissions, public authorities, and other agencies of state government. The Library is the official California State Document Depository and houses the largest collection of California state documents in the United States.

Each agency should designate a publications representative who will be your point of contact with the State Library. To update your publications representative, please email us at csl...@library.ca.gov.

We are actively seeking older materials that are missing from our collection. If you have copies of publications that do not appear in our catalog, please consider donating them to the California State Library. Many state agencies are currently reviewing their online publications to ensure compliance with Government Code 11546.7 (AB 434). If, in doing so, you find that you have a large number of publications that you would like to transfer to the state library, please contact us to make arrangements.

Research shows that one of the chief characteristics of a high performing school is a quality library program. Based upon this research, the New York State Education Department (NYSED) supports efforts by districts, schools, and communities throughout the State in building and supporting strong school library programs.

To assist in these efforts, NYSED has partnered with New York State school librarians, administrators, BOCES representatives, and members of library professional organizations, to update School Library Program (SLP) Rubric. This rubric is intended to be a helpful self-assessment instrument to support the school library program. The updated rubric identifies six foundational values and 27 essential elements for quality school library programs. The School Library Program rubric is not required for use in schools, but is provided as a resource for schools, districts, or School Library Systems to use in developing, improving, and running strong school library programs.

To align our services to support Indigenous Learning, promote Indigenous scholarship, and to cultivate Indigenous Creators we have crafted Indigenous centered library and information services, culturally safe learning spaces, community oriented programmatic outreach, and culturally relevant research support.

INLP is a unique service point in the Zimmerman Library for Indigenous related research questions and information. INLP displays books relating to global Indigenous people and research. INLP staff provide in-depth information on those information areas along with general library questions. INLP Librarians teach skills that will help students use and critically evaluate information resources efficiently.

INLP is targeting its outreach efforts on our three mission priorities; Indigenous Learning, Indigenous Scholarship, and Indigenous Creation. We have created unique programs to cultivate and support Indigenous people to be active agents of change in their community. Here is a snapshot of what we have done thus far in each mission areas.

In 2004, the Indigenous Nations Library Program (INLP) was established and impacted the academic lives of Indigenous students and faculty of the University of New Mexico. This radical experiment in its time was the first of its kind outside of tribal colleges and the program architect, Mary Alice Tsosie was the spearhead into this Indigenous Librarianship movement with administrative support from Johann van Reenen. This program is unique in a university setting because the program is an experiment in Indigenous library services, programming, collection development, and Indigenous learning.

After realizing a space has been secured and beautiful murals were painted to Indigenize the space, Mary Alice Tsosie transitioned out of INLP and moved into an oral history project capturing the voices of UNM Native American Alumni and Scholars. Paulita Aguilar stayed in her role as Native American Curator and new staff included Sarah Kostelecky, Jason Schoup, and Heidi Perea.

INLP refined its program and library services, creating a unique service point in the Zimmerman Library for Indigenous related research questions and information. INLP displays books relating to global indigenous people and research. INLP staff and faculty provide in-depth information on those information areas along with general library questions. INLP Librarians teach skills that will help students use and critically evaluate information resources efficiently. Classroom or personal instruction were created and continues to this day.

In 2018, Paulita Aguilar, one of the original librarians of INLP similarly to Mary Alice Tsosie, transitioned out of INLP and moved into the Center for Southwest Research to fulfill a career ambition to work in the archives & special collections. After this transition, INLP soon redesigned its mission and services to promote Indigenous Learning, Indigenous Scholarship, and Indigenous Creation.

Today, this unique place is re-developing its program space to match the surge in utilization statistics. Every year in INLP's program history, the number of students using INLP grows every year. The past two years have been the strongest ever. With no plateau recorded, it is time to accommodate our growing patron population. The growing use of INLP spaces has caused INLP to redesign program spaces to accommodate more patrons but also imagine creative ways of improving our spaces, such as creating more drop-in study rooms, combining rooms to create a larger classroom, and creating more murals. In the spirit of those who developed INLP into what it is now, we plan for exciting changes to the program space for future Indigenous students.

These designs symbolize fertility and fertile earth weather possibilities learned through living praxis and movement with the earth. Planting knowledge is the metaphor; Indigenous planning is the action for sustainability. Knowledge too can be cultivated through planting Indigenous/ planning Indigenous: epistemology, pedagogy, methodology, and participatory action research and Indigenous action planning, and INLP does just that by giving/ sharing voice/facilitation/research instruction, assistance, and work.

In December 2010, Indigenous Nations Library Program (INLP) was relocated from an upper floor to room 226 to accommodate an increasing demand for Native American resources by Native American students attending the University of New Mexico (UNM) and from the surrounding Native American Nations.

INLP is a highly unique program designed to fulfill distinct purposes. It is designed around four principles. Its first purpose is outreach to UNM American Indian students and New Mexico Tribal Libraries. Second, retention of UNM American Indian students. Third, collaboration with UNM departments offering American Indian curricula. Fourth, research services to all. INLP is a cultural treasure within the University Libraries system.
