This workshop will be held in the Data Hub (Library room 107) and live via Zoom.

Have you ever wanted to find government information related to your research topic but didn’t know where to begin? Government resources are available on a wide variety of subjects and relevant to all levels of research. As a member of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP), the University of Idaho Library supports the FDLP’s mandate of “Keeping America Informed” by providing free public access to historical and current Federal Government resources distributed through the FDLP. In this workshop you will be introduced to U.S. Federal Government Documents and learn how to find government information resources through the U of I Library and beyond. 

Following this workshop, participants will:   

• Briefly learn about the U of I Library’s role in the Federal Depository Library Program and how documents are classified 

• Learn how to use the UI Library catalog to find print and online government information in the Library’s collection 

• Learn how to find government information online from other sources such as federal agency websites
