The Ralph M. Paiewonsky Library of the University of the Virgin Islands is a partial depository for United States Government Documents. As a result of UVI's depository status, the library receives a percentage of the documents printed by U.S. Government Agencies and Offices. These documents are made available for public usage to depository libraries throughout the country.

To find out more about the depository program, you can go directly to the Superintendent of Documents web page.

• go to links of some US Government sites available on the WWW,
  
• or search for documents using the Monthly Catalog of Government Publications.
  
  

Government Documents come in a wide range of topics. These publications are put forth from various branches and offices of the US government. So, you can find information about Education, Social Security, Agriculture, The Code of Federal Regulations, and a wealth of other topics. Visit UVI's collection in the Library in Room L-103.
