Finding Government Documents at Baylor

Government documents published after 1976 are located in the Jones Library on the first floor, and government documents pre-1976 are in Gov Docs Compact Shelving as well as most of the government documents periodicals.

Many government documents are now online and can be accessed through BearCat.  Additionally, the SuDoc number (call number) of the document can be searched in BearCat by conducting a Government Document Number search.
