About MU Government Documents

History

The James E. Morrow Library at Marshall University became a selective depository library in 1925. We are the second largest depository for government publications in the state of West Virginia.

Who We Serve

This department selects, processes, organizes and provides free access to a wide variety of U.S. government publications -- print and non-print items that serves the educational and informational needs of Marshall University students and the citizens of the 3rd Congressional District.

Resources

Our holdings include paper documents, microforms, maps, atlases, video tapes, kits and CDs. We also provide easy access and links from our website to a large number of government information sources, federal agencies websites and many other useful databases and web accessible resource tools.

Classification System

Federal documents are kept in the Superintendent of Documents classification system. This means that documents are arranged by publishing agency, NOT by subject like the rest of Marshall University Libraries collections.

Search

Not all of the government publications housed in the Morrow Library can be found on MILES -- so be sure to check the MarciveWeb DOCS database or paper copy of the Monthly Catalog as well.
