Federal Depository

Collection:

The Maloney Library became a selective Federal Depository in 1987 and holds very few government documents published prior to that date. Please search the library catalog for government publications.

Access:

Non-Fordham patrons may visit the Maloney Law Library solely to access Federal Depository materials. To schedule a visit, please contact the Circulation Desk at circulation@law.fordham.edu (212-636-7820).
