Regional Depositories receive one copy of every publication distributed through the Depository Library Program and retain these documents permanently. They are available through Interlibrary Loan.

OTHER LARGE COLLECTIONS
The libraries of Rutgers University, in particular
the Alexander Library (Social Sciences and Humanities) in New Brunswick
and the Library of Science and Medicine (LSM) in Piscataway, house large
collections of federal, state international and foreign documents. While
some materials are represented in IRIS, the online catalog, most are not.
Therefore, a call to the Reference Desk (732-932-7526, ext. 121) for Alexander
or (732-445-2895) for LSM, is usually necessary to verify holdings. The
Government Resources Librarian at Alexander Library is Mary Fetzer (732-932-7129,
ext. 121) and at LSM is Ellen Calhoun (732-445-1337). Rutgers'
