    Ask a staffer for help. We're open the same hours as the library, but if there's no one available at the desk, you can ask at the Reference Desk on first floor.

    Use this Government Document Request Form to request a document. Requests are usually fulfilled within a week, depending on the difficulty of obtaining the material. You may also contact us directly at 974-2904 with your request.

    Read a SuDoc number?
    Government Information is classified using the Superintendent of Documents (SuDoc) system. You can read more about SuDocs here, or just ask a staffer in the Government Information department to help you find something on the shelf. Since many documents are only a few pages, finding something on the shelf can be difficult.
