Roanoke College is a selective depository library for U.S. federal documents. Documents are received in a variety of formats (paper, fiche, CD-Rom, DVD, fulltext) and are included in the Fintel Library Catalog. Most are arranged by a special documents numbering system. [Reading document numbers help.]

Non-selected documents may be found by searching government information gateways (listed below and at the sidebar).  Please see a librarian for further assistance.
