The SDSU Library is a Congressionally designated depository for U.S. government publications. Public access to the government publications collection is guaranteed by public law (44 United States Code §§1901‐1916). The general public is welcome to use depository materials free of charge. PLEASE NOTE: While the general public is welcome to use depository materials free of charge, many of our U.S. government resources, including resources listed in this research guide, are not depository materials and off-campus access is limited to SDSU students, faculty, and staff. This includes most of the electronic resources such as Proquest Congressional and LexisNexis Academic. The SDSU Library adheres to the policies set by the Government Printing Office: Free, Public Access and Legal Requirements & Program Regulations of the Federal Depository Library Program. |
