The United States Government is the world's largest publisher. Every year it publishes thousands of documents including the Economic Report of the President, census figures, statistics, congressional hearings, and more. The McNichols Campus Library has been a depository library since 1884 and Outer Drive Campus Library since 1965. In order to shelve publications from an agency together, the SuDoc number represents the department or agency from which the document originated. Therefore, documents on the same subject may NOT be classified together, depending on the issuing body.
SuDoc numbers are to be read left to right one element at a time.
Ask a librarian for help. You may have citations to books, journal articles, nonprint media, government documents, etc. There are four ways in which you may still obtain the materials. The Libraries strive to have books at your campus library within 48 business hours and articles within 24 business hours. There is no charge for books obtained through intralibrary loan.
