GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS
Davis Library is a Depository for United States Government Documents. These provide a good source for statistics, domestic and foreign policies and Congressional hearings. In 1992 and 1993 Sendero Luminoso was an important topic at many of these hearings.
At Davis, there are two ways to search for appropriate documents; by using the On-Line Catalog and by using print indexes.
The On-Line Catalog retrieves U.S. government material and the ISS retrieves Intergovernmental Documents, such as United Nations Proceedings.
