Many government documents are indexed by the Library's online catalog.
- You may search by keyword, subject, title, or author.
Marcive WebDOCS is the general index to federal government documents published since 1976. It indexes documents from all agencies and will identify titles not in the online catalog.
Other indexes to government documents include:
- LexisNexis Government Periodicals Index (index to articles in periodicals from federal agencies)
- LexisNexis Academic (legal materials)
- LexisNexis Congressional (publications from Congress)
- LexisNexis Federal and State Cases (all available Federal and State case law)
- LexisNexis Federal Statutes, Codes and Regulations
- LexisNexis Law Reviews and Journals (from U.S. law reviews and journals)
- LexisNexis SEC Filings and Reports (EDGAR filings, annual and quarterly reports, and proxy statements)
- LexisNexis State Statutes, Codes and Regulations (statutory code for all 50 states)
- LexisNexis Statistical (statistics from federal and state agencies).
- More information and guides to using these indexes: Document Indexes
- Other indexes (bound volumes) provide access to documents published before 1976. Ask at the Reference Desk or Government Document Dept. office for assistance.
