The Federal Documents Depository Library at The City College of New York
The City College of New York became a Federal documents depository in 1884. The primary mission of the depository collection is to reflect and support the research and teaching needs of the students, faculty and staff of the CCNY community, as well as the government document needs of the residents of the 15th Congressional District of New York. The bulk of CCNY’s physical Federal documents are kept in the college’s main library, (the Cohen Library), though documents of scientific interest are shelved in our Science/Engineering Library.
Documents are included in our
online catalog
and the City College document collections are available to patrons during all the hours the libraries are open. Our government documents collection is a reference-only collection and documents do not circulate. Members of the public who wish to use any of CCNY’s government documents are welcome at any time the libraries are open. This library is a congressional designated depository for U.S. Government documents. Public access to the government documents collection is guaranteed by public law. (Title 44 United States Code)
