Microbiology: U.S. Government Information and U.S. Patents
NCSU Libraries online catalog
Federal government documents published since 1976 can be searched
by author, title, subject, and keyword in the NCSU Libraries online
catalog. Go to the Reference Desk for assistance in determining
the holdings of documents published before May 1999. (A project
is underway to incorporate the contents of the U.S. Government
Documents Catalog, including document holdings, into the NCSU
Libraries online catalog.) Everything that the NCSU Libraries
has received since May 1999 has been entered, including holdings,
directly into the NCSU Libraries online catalog.
The federal government documents collection includes publications
issued by U.S. government agencies. Includes agency sponsored studies,
fact sheets, handbooks, conference proceedings, Senate and House
hearings on bills, and Congressional publications. Corresponds to
the print Monthly Catalog of United States Government Publications.
The D.H.Hill Library receives approximately 86% of these documents.
They are housed on the second floor of the D. H. Hill Library and
are arranged by SuDoc (Superintendent of Documents) call number.
