Government Documents  

This guide includes:

• Local Goverment Resources
• Web Resources

Hamline University Law Library is a participant in the Federal Depository Library Program.  We receive a percentage of government publications from the Government Printing Office (GPO), such as the Code of Federal Regulations and United States Reports.  We also receive many individual publications from government agencies like the Department of Justice.

In addition to the print resources we receive from the GPO, we have added links to the catalog for government documents available electronically that are of possible interest to the Hamline community.

This guide will provide access to documents created by the U.S. goverment, in addition to resources created locally.  In addition to the familar laws and regulations, goverment agencies have published a diverse collection of reports that can supplement your research.

FDSYS has provided tutorials to learn basic and advanced search features.  Please view their instructional videos to learn how to best search the database.
