United States Government Information

The mission of the Government Documents Unit is to serve the government information needs of the UTSA community, citizens of the 20th U.S. Congressional District, and the general public by providing free public access, instruction, and quality reference assistance in the use of these materials. UTSA Libraries has been a member of the Federal Depository Library Program since 1973.

Government information at UTSA Libraries is primarily accessed online through free government websites supplemented with commercial subscription databases such as ProQuest Congressional, Statistical Abstract of the United States, NexisUni, and ProQuest Statistical Insight.

Other schools in San Antonio and the U.S. maintain and provide access to government publications.
