    31  priateness  of  conservation  and  preservation techniques in accordance
    32  with statewide planning and national standards;  institutional  capacity

    35  training  and  expertise; contribution of the institution to the project
    36  in matching funds and staff resources; and the  volume  of  interlibrary
    37  lending  and  access  to  holdings by the public. Ninety percent of each
    38  such grant shall be payable upon approval  by  the  department  and  the
    39  remaining ten percent shall be payable upon project completion.
    40    [e.]  d. Funds made available under the provisions of this section may

    42  for funding to obtain matching funds from the national endowment for the
    43  humanities preservation program and other federal programs.
    44    [f.] e. The commissioner shall establish an office for coordination of

    45  conservation  and/or preservation of library research materials to iden-
    46  tify the conservation and/or preservation needs of libraries within  the
    47  state,  to  assess  the  technology  available for such conservation and
    48  preservation,  and  to  coordinate  the  conservation  and  preservation
    49  efforts resulting from this legislation.
    50    §  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
    51  have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2013; provided,
    52  however, that the amendments made to paragraphs a and c of subdivision 7
