Government Documents

The US government is the largest publisher of books, journals, films, maps and databases in the world. Some of its publications are well known, but most government documents go unnoticed and unused. That is unfortunate because they are usually well-written, important sources of information which are an excellent resource for student research papers. All Oregon and Federal government documents which the Libraries receive are listed in the Libraries online catalog. Many of the listings in the libraries online catalog have direct links to web sources. In addition, there are several electronic databases and search engines which contain government documents. For more information about accessing government documents see a Librarian.
