While
a lot of information is available through the Internet, it is still
a good idea to take a trip to a library when doing research. Visit
your school, public, or other nearby library to use print or microform
collections or to seek the help of a librarian. A Federal depository
library, a library that serves as a repository for U.S. Federal government
information, is probably nearby and very willing to serve you. Search
this database by area code or state abbreviation to locate
a Federal depository library near you.
