Finding Government Information Just Got Easier

September 5th, 2008 Romeo

As a depository library, we receive publications in print and electronic formats. Recently, federal agencies have begun to distribute most of their publications in electronic format on the web. In order to provide our public access to these resources, the MPL Gov INFO blog has been developed. Searchable by keyword tags, use this resource to find recent publications from federal agencies.

Madison Public Library is a “selective” federal depository library for the 2nd Congressional District of Wisconsin, being so designated in 1965. It maintains a core collection of publications as outlined in the Suggested Core Collections for Small to Medium Public Libraries, listed in the Federal Depository Library Manual, January 2008. All titles from the Basic Collection and most of the titles in the “Essential Titles for Public Use in Paper Format” are selected.
