Government Documents
The Government
Documents Department administers the federal documents
collection. APLS is a selective federal depository
receiving approximately 25 percent of the items
available for selection from the Government Printing
Office. Through the Federal Depository Library Program,
APLS carefully selects items that are the most requested
by citizens and state employees. These items are
cataloged and available for checkout.
APLS maintains a small
collection of state documents. It is also the
coordinating agency in the State Data Center network.
Through this program, the agency helps provide
comprehensive State and national census information.
