Library Special Collections
Shapiro Library is a selective depository for U.S. government publications, receiving about 20% of all paper, microfiche, CD-ROM, and electronic publications available through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). Documents are chosen to support the curriculum and are indexed in our Online Catalog. Links to electronic documents will be found in the catalog as well. You may also search for government information on FirstGov.gov, the U.S. Government’s official web portal and on GPO Access, the U.S. Government Printing Office’s “free electronic access to a wealth of important information products produced by the Federal Government.” All area residents are welcome to use government publications within Shapiro Library. For assistance with Government Documents e-mail the Government Documents Assistant, or call 603.668.2211, ext. 2193.
