The Government Documents Center collects federal and state publications
which support the university's academic programs. Acquisitions of local
and international documents are limited. There are over 90,000 documents
in the collection in various formats: book, pamphlet, journal, poster,
map, audiovisual, microform, and electronic. Subject coverage is extensive
and includes the environmental sciences, education, health, criminal
justice, census data, defense, government regulations, and other areas.
- Organization of Government Documents
- Documents are organized according to the SuDocs (Superintendent of Documents) classification system which groups together publications by the same government author. Within an agency or department, publications are grouped by subordinate organization. The purpose of this system is to logically relate and physically arrange each item so that all publications of a single agency or department may be found together.
- Finding Government Documents
- Use the CSU
Catalog, I-Share, to find government documents. Here is a guide
to locating these documents.
