Federal Depository Library Program

The Technical Services Department manages, catalogs, and processes Federal Government publications received through the State Library's participation in the Federal Depository Library Program. Through the FDLP, citizens have free access to United States government publications on a wide variety of topics, such as North Dakota and regional census information, agricultural statistics, and health and consumer information.

In addition to the print documents held in the State Library's collection, the FDLP also provides access to a vast amount of federal government information on the web. Check out the State Library's Online Catalog (Polaris) for more information.
