While the sources and strategies that are relevant for researchers in history and the social sciences are not always the best fit for graduate nursing students, government information can provide opportunities for unexpected collaboration between a social science librarian and a nursing librarian. This poster highlights resources, instructional methods, and outreach efforts designed to meet the government information needs of graduate students at the Yale School of Nursing.

To refer patrons to electronic versions of weeded government serials, we are putting QR  codes in the stacks. The poster will include tips on making the code graphics, what else  to put on the signs, and ideas on where the codes should refer users.

This poster presents the results of the American Association of Law Libraries' Federal Depository Library Task Force (2012-13), which studied the role of law libraries in the depository program, in policy and practice. Find out what we learned from a survey of depository librarians and supporters. See the spectrum of collection development policy treatment of depositories, and review some model language. Also, check out some great photographs from the special Government Information category in the annual “Day in the Life” photo contest!
