Federal 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.
