Government Documents are publications issued at government expense or by the authority of a government body. They cover a wide range of subject matter as the government is involved in almost all aspects of our society. Many documents may be located through the library's online catalog. Others may be located through GPO in Webspirs, through the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications, or though the Monthly Catalog (GP 3.8/8) in the Government Documents area (Library Room 245). Many documents may be accessed electronically.

The Government Documents collection is located on the second floor of Campbell Library, Room 245. For assistance with locating and/or using Government Documents, please check out this Tutorial on Goverment Documents, see a member of the Government Documents Staff or ask a Reerence Librarian. 

Our documents do not circulate.  Members of the public who wish to use any of the government documents are welcome to visit during the hours posted.  

New Jersey is one of the "pilot" states chosen by GPO for the newly instituted Public Access Assessment (on-site inspection) process.  In August 2008, Rowan University was one of the first libraries visited by a PAA inspection team, and received high praise for its achievements in the 4 areas of concern; access, collection, service, and cooperative efforts.
