Print Gov Docs
SU Libraries is a depository for both federal and state government information, providing public access to government documents. As a selective depository, the library receives only some of the documents published by the government, chosen to support the research and teaching mission of SU. Our Regional Depository is McKeldin Library at the University of Maryland, College Park.
When searching in SURF, look for 'United States Documents' location for federal government documents and 'Maryland State Documents' location for state government documents. Find both in the 3rd floor south reading room.
