Government Information Reference service is available in the basement of Zimmerman Library and the circulating collection is housed on Basement Lower Level 1 and 2. Some of the collections which cover scientific information are located in the Centennial Science and Engineering Library . It is a rich source of materials for all of the sciences and social sciences, and has a surprising amount of information on the humanities from agencies such as the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution and Library of Congress. By law the depository must make the documents available to the public and one out of every three users is a member of the community. The Government Information staff of seven provides high level service to all who need assistance with the materials.
Most documents circulate and are checked out at the main circulation desk.
Non-University individuals can arrange for borrowing privileges with Zimmerman Circulation Department. Reference staffing is available, click here for information about current hours.
