The library has a huge range of information resources -- available to you on campus, at home and at work -- that will help you with your studies. I look forward to working with you this semester and throughout your time at NDSU.

Government documents are publications that are issued at government expense or by a government body, for example, departments of the United States government, the State of North Dakota, or a local city or county. Publications can be issued in a tangible format, such as print or DVD, or they can be issued in an electronic format available on the Internet. Public access to goverment documents is guaranteed by public law.

The NDSU Library has been part of the Federal Depository Library Program since 1907. The NDSU Library also is a depository library for State of North Dakota publications.
