About the Milner Government Information collection:

The Federal Depository Collection primarily resides on the Social Sciences floor of the library. Milner Library has served as a selective Federal Depository for government information dating from 1858-1862, and from 1877 to the present. As a depository we provide free, public access to government information to all members of the community. We also serve as a state depository for Illinois government resources.

As a Federal Depository Library we are required to follow policies and procedures consistent with federal depository regulations including posting  discard lists to other Illinois federal depositories.
