====== Government Documents Cataloging ======


International, federal, state, and local government documents have been mainstreamed into regular cataloging workflows.  

Catalog these are you would any other resource.  

Give government documents LC call numbers.  They will be shelved in the stacks with the rest of our general collection.

Follow the [[separate record policy for free electronic resources]]

In the item record:

For physical materials code the statistic field 02 for gift

For online resources code the statistic field 09 for efree
