The federal government is the world's largest publisher of statistical information, including state, local, national, and international data.
Most federal government publications published today are available on the Internet. In addition to legal and statistical information, government publications include information in the areas of art, history, science, and many more.

The University of Delaware Library is an officially designated depository for federal government publications and has been a depository since 1897. The Depository number is 0087. The Library currently provides access to most of the publications in the Federal Depository Library Program and Library selects about 51% of the available items, including hearings published by the Senate and House Committees on which members of Delaware's Congressional delegation serve.

For older publications (prior to 1994), search DELCAT or WorldCat Local. Note: federal documents at the Library are not all listed in DELCAT (or WorldCat Local). If you don't find what you need, ask for assistance.

The University of Delaware Library is a Federal Depository Library.

"A popular Government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but as Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
— James Madison, "Letter to W. T. Barry" (August 4, 1822)

U.S. documents are arranged by a call number system specifically designed for federal documents, called the Superintendent of Documents (SuDocs) classification system.

The SuDocs call number system is based on the government agency which released the document. For example, a publication from the Department of Agriculture begins with an "A," such as A 1.114:92 and a publication from the Department of Education begins with the letters "ED," such as ED 1.209 Sp1.

Agencies or bureaus under departments have the letter or letters for that department (the "parent agency") and a number unique to the sub-agency or bureau. For example, "A 13" is the Forest Service and "A 93" is the Economic Research Service, both of which are agencies under the Department of Agriculture.

The next part of the call number identifies the series or type of publication. The remaining parts of the call number identify the individual publication.

The call numbers file alphabetically by letter and then in numerical order by the first group of numbers, then the next group, etc. All numbers are whole numbers. Unlike the Library of Congress call number system used in most of the rest of the library, THERE ARE NO DECIMALS.

The Library welcomes suggestions for books, journals, videos and other material. Please use the Recommendation for Purchase form to send your suggestions.

Libraries across the country participate in the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). The program's goal is to provide government information to the public (or DTTP, documents to the people). The program supplies government publications in electronic and tangible formats and provides continuing education for the dedicated librarians who assist the public.
