Government Information at Murphy Library

               

As a government depository library Murphy Library offers an extensive collection of government information resources which can be identified, and also accessed if it's an online resource, through the Library Catalog:

The Catalog can limit search results to government documents, but that function only includes print format documents, and omits documents that are online or held on microform.  To comprehensively find government documents in the Catalog you can instead include the following in your search:

"government publishing office" OR "government printing office" OR gpo OR "g.p.o."

This guide highlights some of the most important government information resources and finding tools used at UW-La Crosse.
