State agencies and local governments should submit a digital copy of publications using the online submission form and supply the Web address if there is one.

State agencies may not remove a state publication it posts to its public website until a copy is deposited into the digital library for permanent public access.
A good guide is to send all publications EXCEPT THE FOLLOWING:
- Advertising, registration information, programs
- training manuals used in workshops, seminars, or conferences
- minutes of meetings of directors, councils, or agencies
- newspapers not intended for public distribution
- news releases
- drafts or updates of plans
- grant proposals, specifications, bids
- fliers or posters
- programs of theater, music, sports, and other events
