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 the Library Catalog, and like the library's main collection, most documents can be checked out.
