Finding depository documents
Majority of print documents are in Ferguson’s remote storage and are searchable in catalog.
A few are in cataloging (C, I, & L) and will eventually head to Ferguson.
Major documents are in reference (Census, Statutes at Large).
Microfiche are in basement (for now).
The federal documents use the SuDoc Classification System.
The NC documents use a similar system. If a call number has a colon [:], then it is
a SuDoc and not LC. Example: PR 41.8:B 52/2
Want to play with SuDocs?
