The proliferation of government publications about American Indians has continued at a steady pace since World War II, but the 1970s marked a minor watershed. Not only did the numbers of publications increase, but also a high percentage of these were directed at mass audiences, and many reports candidly investigated the problems caused by government policies. Although few items were written by Indians, some of the more important ones were based upon Indian testimony taken at the grassroots level. The person truly interested in learning about today's Indian concerns can therefore begin with readily available government documents, and from these move into Indian writings and direct interviews. To dismiss all government documents as mere justifications of federal policy would be a serious mistake for any scholar, and this article attempts to alert readers to the most important types of government-sponsored studies.

An argument is made for greater attention to systematic collection development of U.S. government publications by non-depository libraries. Differences between depositories and non-depositories which have impact on collection development are identified and discussed. Elements of a collection development model, including a collection development policy for U.S. government publications are proposed. Factors affecting the identification and selection of U.S. public documents are noted and several bibliographic resources suitable for use in collection development by non-depository libraries are identified and described.

This article examines some problems of collection development for primary United Nations material and complementary secondary works: it outlines the purposes of collecting such material in various types of libraries; surveys general characteristics of collection development in relation to UN material and special problems of collecting that material; sketches the nature of various collection levels and suggests types of material and specific titles appropriate for each level; explores distribution patterns of UN documents and publications and the special problems of depository libraries; gives information about various methods of acquisition and suggests selection tools and sources.
