For the past several years, almost all newly published items added to the library’s collection have been in electronic format only. These items are accessible in full text through the library’s intranet catalog. Many old print materials have also been digitized and uploaded to the library’s catalog.
To get a general sense of a subject’s history, however, you may find it useful to browse the library stacks in certain locations to see print copies of older publications (and the occasional newer item that was published both electronically and in print). For publications related to public safety and security, call number ranges include, but are not limited to:
338.411 economic impact of casino tourism
345.052 criminal investigation and law enforcement
351.74 state government – police agencies
352.2 local governments – police agencies
352.922 building construction
363.2 social problems and services – police services
363.233 enforcement of civil laws, including building codes
363.42 social problems and services – gambling
970 American Indian tribes; government relations with specific tribes
Hard copies of mandated reports that were produced only once or as a limited series are shelved by the number of the act that required the report. Hard copies of mandated reports produced regularly with no set end date (for example, state agencies’ annual reports) are shelved in the stacks by subject.
