As a Federal Depository, Wesleyan Libraries receive many publications issued by agencies of the U.S. Government. These publications, which include books, maps, posters, pamphlets, and periodicals, contain information on statistical data, government operations, foreign relations, education, science and technology, and many other subjects.

Depository items at Wesleyan are arranged by their Superintendent of Documents classification numbers. Publications are grouped together by issuing agency.

For example, the U.S. Industrial Outlook has the SuDoc number:

C

61.

34:

994

Commerce Department
(issuing agency)

International Trade Administration
(subordinate bureau within the agency)

Number designating the title

Year of publication (1994)

Note that the 'dot' in a SuDoc number is a period, not a decimal. Thus, for example, "C 61.34:" is shelved after "C 61.7:"

All government documents (except for microforms) shelved in the areas mapped below can be checked out.
