Locating Government Publications in Science and Technology

Locating Government Publications in Science and Technology

Scientific literature published by and for the United States Government is an important source of information in the physical sciences and engineering.
The federal government performs about ten percent of its own research, and contracts out the rest to industry, universities, and nonprofit organizations.
The focus of this tutorial is on identifying and locating the literature of federal government research in the physical sciences and engineering. For more information about locating all types of government publications, see Tapping the Government Grapevine by Judith Schiek Robinson, 2nd ed. (1993). This item is available at call number 025.1734R563T1993 in the Library and Information Science Library, the Documents Library, and the Reference Room. You can also ask a reference librarian for help!
