Specific areas of the Michael Schwartz library are currently closed due to water damage from burst pipes. If you need to access materials in a closed area, please request the items via the catalog or at a service desk. Some materials may not be available due to water damage. You may also reach the government documents depository coordinator at 216-687-2485.

The Michael Schwartz Library is a selective depository for U.S. and Ohio government documents. At the Michael Schwartz Library, all documents are integrated into the regular collection. Documents cataloged as periodicals are shelved with periodicals and those cataloged as books are shelved with the books. In addition, a large number of government documents are now available online.

For e-mail reference questions about government information, contact Hannah Pearson at h.pearson@csuohio.edu.
