The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) was established by Congress to ensure that the American public has access to its Government's information. Since 1813, depository libraries have safeguarded the public's right to know by collecting, organizing, maintaining, preserving, and assisting users with information from the Federal Government. The FDLP provides Government information at no cost to designated depository libraries throughout the country and territories. These depository libraries, in turn, provide local, no-fee access to Government information in an impartial environment with professional assistance.
The United States government publications are included in the library catalog. Many titles are now electronic and can be used on or off campus. Titles received in paper format are on the 3rd floor of the UALR Ottenheimer Library. Most of these materials can be checked out.
