Government Documents at MIT

The Government Documents Section is a unit of Acquisitions and Licensing Services. This is a central processing unit for printed documents, microfiche, and electronic products received from the Government Printing Office (GPO) through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). The materials are received and processed within the section and then distributed to the various libraries and branches at MIT for end processing and shelving. All questions related to the receipt of documents through the FDLP should be directed to:

• Self-Study
  In lieu of on-site inspections, we are required by the GPO to submit a self-study document for their review. We were last inspected on August 26, 1994. This inspection/self-study process happens once every seven years, and our self-study will be submitted by March 31, 2002. For more information about this process, please contact Kim Maxwell at kmaxwell@mit.edu or 617-253-7028.
