About
Welcome to the Government Publications Department at San Francisco State University!
The J. Paul Leonard Library is one of 1300 Federal depository libraries that provide access to government information. It has been a selective federal depository library since 1955, and serves the 12th Congressional district. We select approximately 52% of available U.S. documents from the Government Printing Office (GPO). We also collect State of California documents and international documents from the United Nations.
