Government Documents

in the Library and on the web!

The Rice Library Catalog includes many government document publications. To readily search for only government documents in the Catalog:

   ► Select Basic Search and use the dropdown to select
        Government Documents.

   ► Search by a single word or put phrases in quotes.

Example: if you were searching for government information on capital punishment, in Basic Search you would put "capital punishment" in quotes.

The U.S. Government is posting more and more material directly on the Web.

While the library has Government Documents in print and in microforms, if the publication is relatively recent scroll to the bottom of the record and look for a direct Web address.
