Federal Regional Depository Library
Zimmerman Library is the designated Federal Regional Depository Library for New Mexico. Federal government information, regardless of form or format and which is disseminated or distributed by the U.S. Government Printing Office (USGPO) is available to all users of the collection. From 1976 to the present materials received by the USGPO can be searched via Discovery. Per federal law, the collection retains a copy of practically every piece of government information received. Historical government information (pre-1976) can be located using a variety of electronic or tangible finding aids. Contact Monica Dorame Library Services Coordinator mdorame@unm.edu.
