January 04, 2017

The following are publications received during September - December 2016. The purpose of this list is two-fold: one, to create an awareness of the breadth and depth of the Washington State Library's federal documents collection and two, to alert readers to specific titles available to them either online or in print (or other tangible mediums such as microfiche).

The titles included in this document represent the many valuable publications produced by the Government Publishing Office (GPO) and distributed to federal depository libraries through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). The Washington State Library is the Regional Federal Depository Library for the states of Washington and Alaska.
