Government Information Research in the UCLA Library
Welcome to the UCLA Government Information research guide!
Government documents are usually categorized by the level of government which produced them.
- Federal = The national government of the United States.
- State = The governments of the 50 states, including California.
- Local = Any level of government below a whole state, such as counties, cities, and school districts.
- International = International organizations, both global (such as the United Nations) and regional (such as the European Union).
- Foreign = Individual foreign countries (which may themselves be sub-divided into national, provincial, and municipal government entities).
