The University of Virginia Library is a depository library for publications of the United States government.  Thousands of U.S. government publications are available in the Government Information Resouces (GIR) section of Alderman Library, located on the third floor.  Many of these items are searchable in VIRGO, but for assistance in locating older or more obscure documents, please check with a librarian or stop by the GIR section of Alderman Library.

The GIR also maintains collections of Virginia State and local documents, United Nations documents, and various other kinds of documents produced by governmental organizations at all levels.  Check with GIR staff for details.

The link below will take you to the GIR web page, which has more information about their collections and services, as well as links to web resources and ways to search for government information.  The Science.gov link will take you to the U.S. Government's own web page search engine optimized for science and technology topics.  (Use USA.gov for more general searching.)
