The Govinfo department is located on the first floor of the Deering Libary - find us here (below). 

The Government and Geographic Information and Data Services Department does not collect the documents of foreign governments; this guide was created as a way to access that information. It provides links to the official websites of national governments. Information on nations not on this list can be found on the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation List of Members.
