Federal Government Documents
What are Federal Government Documents? • Federal Government Documents are publications
produced by the government and its agencies and may be in any format, such as, paper, electronic, microform, audiocassette, videocassette, etc.
• The U.S. Government is the largest publisher in the world and distributes these publications through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). The United States government provides a variety of information from laws and regulations to presidential documents to consumer health information.
Depository Library = Library within a Library
KDLA is Your Federal Depository Library

The library selects health reports, census data, military publications, congressional reports, agricultural data, scientific and technical reports, educational materials, criminal justice statistics, environmental reports, economic data, international information, and more.
