Abstract
Fifty small academic libraries not housing federal depositories were surveyed to determine how well they can meet users' needs for federal documents. Results indicate these libraries spend an average of about $750 a year on documents, acquire very little free material, and incorporate most documents into the regular collection or the vertical file. Although most acquire the basic document reference sources and bibliographic tools, very few make any significant use of interlibrary loan. Apparently most cannot provide access to documents equal to that offered by even small depositories.
