The Government Information Unit strives to provide free access, as defined by the Government Publishing Office: any member of the general public can handle, view, and use government information at the library without any restrictions. However, there are hours, typically during the evenings, when only authorized Vanderbilt ID holders are allowed in the building. During hours restricted to authorized card holders, patrons without card privileges wanting to use the depository can gain access by informing library staff that they wish to use the library's depository resources. For questions about access to government information, please ask a library staff member.
In addition, any government documents that circulate are (as with all other library materials) allowed to circulate only to patrons who have a Vanderbilt affiliation and a library account.
Access to depository publications is ensured by:
