Locate a Federal Depository Library

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.
