The Superintendent of Documents (SuDocs) classification system is designed to group together publications by the same government author. Within an agency or department, publications are grouped according to the subordinate organization. The purpose of this system is to uniquely identify, logically relate, and physically arrange each publication so that all publications of a single agency or department may be found together.
The TAMU-CC Mary and Jeff Bell Library has been a Selective Depository in the Federal Depository Library Program since 1976. We currently select approximately 45% of available items in print, electronic, microfiche and other formats. We serve the community of Corpus Christi and the 27th Congressional district.
