Government publications became part of the James A. Michener Library’s collections well before the university was designated as a selective federal depository in 1966. As a federal depository, UNC provides free access to government information to residents of the Fourth Congressional District. As a state depository, UNC provides access to state publications selected in accordance with the University Libraries’ collection development policy for government publications.
