The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP)
The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) makes information produced by Federal Government Agencies available for public access at no fee.
Access is through over 1,250 depository libraries located throughout the U.S. and its territories, or through GPO Access on the Internet for online electronic Federal information at https://www.gpo.gov.
The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) was established by Congress to ensure that the American public has access to its Government's information (44 U.S.C. §§1901-1916). For more than 140 years, depository libraries have supported the public's right to know by collecting, organizing, preserving, and assisting users with information from the Federal Government.

Selective Depositories
Selective depository libraries tailor their selections of Government information products to their community's primary needs. The Naval War College's print collection of government documents is a small curated collection of documents that supports the curriculum of the college and the needs of the researchers.
