History
Federal Depository Library The James E. Morrow Library at Marshall University became a selective depository library in 1925. We are the second largest federal depository for government publications in the state of West Virginia.
Who We Serve
This department selects, processes, organizes and provides free access to a wide variety of U.S. government publications -- print and non-print items that serves the educational and informational needs of Marshall University students and the citizens of the 3rd Congressional District.
Resources
Our holdings include paper documents, microforms, maps, atlases, video tapes, kits and CDs. We also provide easy access and links from our website to a large number of government information sources, federal agencies websites and many other useful databases and web accessible resource tools.
Classification System
Federal documents are kept in the Superintendent of Documents classification system. This means that documents are arranged by publishing agency, NOT by subject like the rest of Marshall University Libraries collections.
Search
Not all of the government publications housed in the Morrow Library can be found on the
Library Catalog -- so be sure to check the
MarciveWeb DOCS database or paper copy of the Monthly Catalog as well.
