OSU Documents Collection As a regional depository for U.S. Government documents, the Documents Department at the OSU Edmon Low Library receives and makes available all materials issued by the federal government through the Federal Depository Library Program. The Documents Department is also a depository for Oklahoma state documents. Publications of other states, foreign governments and international organizations are obtained to support fields of special interest to the University.
