The University Library was designated an official government depository for the third Congressional District of Colorado in 1965. We select approximately 46% of the information offered to libraries by the Federal Government. Most titles in the collection circulate to the University students, faculty, staff, and community patrons. Assistance is always available at the Library Information Commons Information Desk , during normal operating hours or after hours via email.
