Finding Government Information

This page provides key resources for government information in Canada. Most current government information is published online, and many historical documents have been or will be digitized. However, some government information is still only available in print or microform.

Government and legal materials in print are located on Floor 7 of the Library.

Federal Science Libraries Network
