Government Document of the Month: October



An important part of Government Documents are the bound volumes of the Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States.  The volumes are received free from the Government Printing Office because Blackwell Library is a Federal Depository Library.  On display this month are the first volumes in the collection from the last three presidents and book one of the first volume from the papers of President Obama.  All of the volumes from Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Hoover through Obama in the collection can be checked out. The volumes can be found in the stacks upstairs under the call number:  J82.E9.  The display is located on the first floor of the library in the Government Document section.
