The Library collects government documents that complement and supplement the library's other collections. In addition to legal materials, the library collects annual reports, laws, decisions, regulations, selected handbooks, manuals and general publications of various legislative, judicial and executive branch agencies. Some of our government document collection is shelved in our Government Documents section, while others are in microfiche or shelved by subject in our regular Treatise collection.
You may have used a government document without knowing it. Here are a few examples from our collection:
- 9/11 Commission report : final report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States
- Code of Federal regulations
- Inmate behavior management : the key to a safe and secure jail
- Making sense of DNA backlogs : myths vs. reality
- Statistical abstract of the United States
- Toward a drugs and crime research agenda for the 21st century
