The bulk of the government publications collection at Adams Library is shelved on the 2nd floor (the quiet study area). Many government documents have also been added to the Library's general collections. These documents are assigned standard call numbers appropriate to their subjects and to the collections in which they are found. Government publications found on the 2nd floor follow the SuDocs call number system. (see below)
Most government publications these days are also electronic. There will usually be a link within the library catalog record to the online version. Click on the titles below to view the HELIN record which shows the call number for the print and a "View Online" link.
If you need help finding a document, please feel free to contact the Adam's Library reference desk.
Government Publications are cataloged in the library catalog and are classed according to the Superintendent of Documents (SuDoc) Classification System. The SuDocs call number system is based on the names of the issuing federal department. See the following charts and images for explanations of the SuDoc number structure.
