Government Documents - Electronic Access

An ever-increasing amount of government information is now available through the internet and on cd-roms. This ranges from old, familiar documents titles now available in electronic format to information packaged in new ways on cds to government files and information previously unavailable in most libraries. Some of this information duplicates what is available on our shelves and some is a continuation of titles previously offered in paper or microfiche.
