Collection Overview
The Government Publications Library consists of
over 5.2 million items in paper, microform, video and electronic
format. The Library receives over ten thousand current serials. It
collects publications from the United States Government, all fifty
state governments, foreign governments, and international
governmental organizations. Most of the collection is uncataloged and
cannot be accessed using Chinook, the University Libraries online
catalog. Users of the collection can search Chinook to find federal
documents published since 1976, foreign, state and international
documents published since 1989, and a limited number of older
publications. The Library has numerous printed indexes and CD-ROM
databases that can be used to identify older documents. The
Government Publications Reference Desk staff can recommend the best
way to find both current and historical government information.
