U.S. Government Documents The Monmouth University Library participates in the Federal
Depository Library Program (FDLP), a national network of libraries
receiving federal documents distributed by the Government Printing
Office (GPO). Created and published by all U.S. government agencies,
these publications may serve as primary documents in scholarly
research and be a source of information for the general consumer.
The most important and widely used documents can be located by
searching the library's online catalog. The majority of the
documents in paper and microfiche format are located on the ground
floor in compact shelving. For assistance with locating U.S.
documents, please see a Reference Librarian or visit the N.J. State Documents The Monmouth University Library is part of a statewide network of
