WCSU is a congressionally designated depository for U.S Government documents.  Public access to the government documents collection is guaranteed by public law (for more information, see Title 44 United States Code).  As a participant in the Federal Depository Library Program, WCSU receives copies of many government documents on an ongoing basis.  To locate federal and other government documents in the Haas library, use WestSearch to search the library catalog.

Government documents are items which are published or printed as individual documents at government expense, or as required by law.  Most publications released by government agencies are considered government documents.  These documents may be released in a multitude of formats, and the majority of new publications are available online. 

WCSU maintains core government documents collections, as well as more specific collections of documents from the Departments of Commerce, Education, Justice, and Health and Human Services.

WCSU receives new government documents every week, if not every day.  These documents cover a wide array of topics, and are available in a variety of formats.  Newly published and recently updated GPO titles may be found below.
