Welcome to Government Documents: Quick Info

"Free access to government information for all."

Federal government documents, published by Congress and its agencies, are made available to the public through GPO, the Government Publishing Office and the FDLP, the Federal Depository Library Program. The Learning Resource Center, a Selective depository, receives items from GPO, maintains the collection in various formats, and makes it accessible to the public. Topics appeal to everyone.  Discover how to grow a tomato or how to get help after a disaster. Learn historical facts or get current information on hot topics like immigration.  Research anything related to Congress, including proceedings that occur on a given day, old and new hearings, laws and regulations. Statistics are available from many different departments. From Agriculture, Business and Education, find statistics on agriculture crop yields, exports and imports, and school crime and violence. 
LRC maintains tangible items in the Government Documents stacks while providing links to information through the library catalog and this library guide. We are excited to announce that LRC is transitioning to become a complete digital library. We will have the same wide scope of information available to you without a paper trail. If you need assistance, please ask a librarian to help you navigate and remember that Inter-Library Loan is available to request items from other depositories.  For now, feel free to use the print and tangible items from our stacks. We ask only that the documents be used in house during normal business hours.
