Government Publications
NMT Library is a selective Depository Library receiving about 35% of the materials available through the Federal Depository Library Program. The materials selected are primarily those in science and technology, including most materials from the Dept of the Interior.
Materials are received monthly from (Government Printing Office) which oversees the Program and are made ready for check out and available through our WorldCat online catalog usually within 10 days of receipt. Access to free digital publications is available at .
This Department also maintains the Map Collection, located in the Garden Level, next to the elevator on the west side of the building. Of interest are the topo maps and USGS map series. On display are maps of current interest or special appeal.
The government publications department functions include:
- Reviewing the items selected annually for appropriateness for the public in our congressional district
