Print Documents
Many can be found as part of the reference stacks or the
circulating stacks. To find them, search in the
Library Catalog, using
the same methods as searches for other library materials. You may also
select the "Government Documents" format as a limit in the Library Catalog's
Power Search mode. Government
Documents stacks on the south side of the library are the site of another large
group of print documents. Arranged in Superintendent of Documents (SuDoc)
classification, the recent documents can be located in the
Library Catalog. However, if a document with a SuDoc call number is located by
searching in Catalog of U.S. Government Publications or in the catalog of another
library--such as Wayne State University or
Library of Michigan--it
often can be found also in the OCC Government Documents stacks. Documents from
this section are available for circulation. Ask a Librarian for assistance.
Microfiche Documents
A collection of Government Documents on microfiche is filed by
SuDoc number and stored in microfiche cabinets near the Government Documents
stacks on the south side of the library. The library has microfiche
reader-printers in the periodicals section for public use.
CD-ROM
A selection of government document databases on CD-ROM is
available for use in the library on a computer near the Reference Desk. These
include the National Trade Data Bank, the U.S. Code, and Tax Forms, among
others. Many are available for circulation.
Maps
A selection of U.S. Geological Survey and other maps are stored
in map cabinets in the Reference section.
Internet
The Internet and the World Wide Web are rich sources of U.S. and
other levels of governmental information.
See the recommended sites listed above.
