ANT 416: Research Methods in Cultural Anthropology
Government Documents
The NCSU Libraries has an extensive collection of Federal government
documents. Those that have been published since 1976 can be searched in
electronic databases. The Government Printing Office in 2005 finally began to
provide an electronic version of the Monthly Catalog of U.S. Government
Publications.
The D. H. Hill Library Federal documents collection contains approximately
86% of the publications contained in the Monthly Catalog.
Many of the publications in the library's Federal documents collection are
older than 1976 and can not be searched electronically. For material issued
prior to 1976, use the printed Monthly Catalog of U.S. Government
Publications -- shelved on the second floor, North Tower, on the
bookstack range closest to Hillsborough Street -- to obtain call numbers for
this material.
The Federal documents collection is shelved on the second floor tower stack
areas of the library. The collection is arranged by a separate classification
system -- the Superintendent of Documents (or SuDoc) classification scheme --
which arranges material by the government agency responsible for the
publication. Such an arrangement is not good for browsing since many agencies
may have published books on a given topic.
