Coates Library is a member of the Federal Depository Library program. We collect about 50% of the material put out by the federal government in various formats, and point to an increasing amount of official government information on the Web. The library is also a depository for the State of Texas.  In addition, we collect documents from the City of San Antonio.

Government Documents can be searched in Quest, the library's on-line catalog, and like the library's main collection, most documents can be checked out.
