The above, with any\nother publications not needed in the state library, shall be the\nduplicate department, and rules for sale, exchange or distribution from\nit shall be fixed by the regents, who shall use all receipts from such\nexchanges or sales for the expenses of and for increasing the duplicate\ndepartment or depository of the state library.\n
