General Description
John F. Reed Library is a state publications depository. We receive many Colorado government publications. Colorado’s government publications address a wide range of topics that are pertinent to many academic disciplines. Publications are updated frequently and we hold each document we receive for a minimum of five years. You can search for state publications using the Talon Library Catalog. They are available for check out to Reed Library patrons. Publications are separated into the following three categories that determine where they are located.
- Bound Publications - these publications either have spine bindings or are in a three ring binder.
- Newsletters - publications (serials) that are issued from specific agencies on a regular interval.
- Other Publications - these are publications that consist of a single page, a few pages that are stapled, or pamphlets.
