Depository Library Information

亚色影库 Libraries has been a depository library for Pennsylvania State (1972) and United States federal (1962) documents for many years. Historically, this collection included information in paper and other tangible formats. More recently, dissemination of government information has moved to electronic format, and access is now primarily over the internet to electronic versions of these key documents.

While a small separate collection of Pennsylvania state and federal documents remains, most documents in physical format will be found in 亚色影库 Libraries' reference, circulating, and serials collections.

The main access tool for government information in our collections is our Library Search on the Libraries' home page. Records for older paper documents and newer federal government documents in electronic format are added to our online catalog to make this important information source easily accessible. For additional options, consult Accessing Government Documents.

Reference guides with more information on accessing government information sources are available from the section of the library website.Questions relating to government information sources should be referred to McDevitt or to the Reference Desk.

Outreach

As Outreach librarian, McDevitt seeks to develop and grow partnerships with university divisions and constituencies which share 亚色影库 Libraries' mission of promoting general and information literacy and student academic success.

If you are interested in holding meetings, workshops, activities, or public lectures in the library, or are looking for library or information literacy-related workshops or activities to be offered outside the classroom and library, please contact McDevitt for assistance.
