The Library Catalog

When you really need a Government Document fix, The Library Catalog can help. 

Select "Government Documents" from the drop-down tab next to the "Classic Search" dialogue box to limit your search. 

Watch the following video if you have any questions.

Microform

A great deal of Government Information is on microform.  Trinity has more than 30,000 pieces!

Trinity's microform collection can be found on the 1st Floor of the library, near the Government Documents shelving.

There are a variety of tools to read and process microform in the Media Area, also on the 1st Floor.

If you need help operating the machines, Please, Ask A Librarian.

  • Microform Location Map  
      
    A map to the microform motherlode.
  • Wikipedia - Microform  
      
    Ah yes, a Wikipedia page. Shameful, but it does provide a good explanation of a variety of microformats. Ok for general knowledge, just don't cite it!
