The University of Wisconsin Law Library is a federal depository library serving the university community and the general public.

This is a selective list of major document titles or series currently received by the University of Wisconsin Law Library. Entries all in capital letters represent classes or categories of publications or title variations; entries in lower case letters that are underlined are actual titles. 

  This list is intended as a convenient ready-reference finding aid for the most asked-for documents. All U.S. government publications distributed since mid-1976 are included in the MadCat Library Catalog and should be available in at least one campus library. Older publications can be located by using the United States Monthly Catalog of Government Publications (Ref  Z 1223 A18).

    Most call numbers are Superintendent of Documents classification numbers. All call numbers listed in the guide may be clicked in your web browser to find their location on the UW Law Library floor maps.

    Some government documents are available online through the Internet. If a document is available online, links are provided to the information. These links leave the UW Law Library Homepage and go to the information providing agency. The amount of government information at these sites depends on what the agency has decided to make available. Because of this, some links may not contain the specific government document you are looking for. If a document, or category of documents, e.g. RULES, REGULATIONS, AND INSTRUCTIONS, is available online, the information posted may not correspond exactly with the actual print source. Some agencies also require third party software to view their documents, such as Adobe Acrobat. Such restrictions governing the access of these documents are detailed on each individual agency's web site.

    If you cannot find the document you want listed in this guide or in the MadCat Library Catalog, please consult a reference librarian at the reference desk (5th Floor, 608-262-3394) or the Documents Assistant (5th Floor, Room 5334; 262-2843).
