Government Publications
The University of Minnesota Libraries provides access to government information both online and within library collections across campus. We can assist university students, faculty, staff, and researchers as well as anyone from the public with government information research and questions.
The Government Publications collection contains United States federal documents as well as a comprehensive collection of publications from state departments, state extension services, and agricultural experiment stations.
Besides being a regional United States government depository, the Libraries also receive documents from Canada, the European Union, and the United Nations, as well as publications from other countries and international organizations.
