Getting Started with Government Documents

Government information can be an important contribution to your research. Government documents and reports can also be difficult to find. There are many ways to search for and locate government information.

  • The CSU catalog includes print and electronic government documents.
  • Some databases such as TreeSearch include links to online government documents. TreeSearch includes Forest Service publications
  • Google advanced searches can be a useful way to locate more recent government documents which might be in pdf, or full-text on the Web.
