How do I Find Government Information?

A Guide for Locating and Accessing Government Documents and Web Resources

Using the Online Catalog

From the Advanced Catalog Search, you can search by title, author, or subject.

A red circle highlights the drop down menu listing searchable fields from the catalog search page.

To search just the government documents collection, you will want to use the options under "Add Limits" to limit your search by location. You can use the CTRL key to select more than one option or simply click on either "Government Documents" or "Colorado Documents."

Arrows point to the Location limiter and the two government document location types.

To search by call number, select the "Number" search option from the Advanced Search page and the number type "Government Documents Number."

A red circle highlights the fifth search option down while a red arrow highlights the last number type radial button.
