State Documents State documents are those produced by state agencies in each state. State agencies deposit their documents in many different libraries. The Legislative Reference Library catalogs all state documents. If your local college library does not own a specific state document you can send for the document using interlibrary loan. Local Documents Local documents are those produced by various local branches of government, i.e., county or city governments.
Local documents are usually available in the main branch of a city or county public library system.
Local documents can also be found in county or city law libraries.
