Dana Library currently selects and acquires approximately 60 percent of the federal depository publications, covering a wide range of subjects in a variety of formats, including paper, microfiche, CD-ROM, DVD, and online.

Of the subject areas in which it selects, the library maintains an excellent collection of government publications on business and economics issued by agencies, including the U.S. Census Bureau, the Department of Labor, the Small Business Administration, the International Trade Commission, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. It has a sizable collection on U.S. Census dating back to the 1790 census. Also particularly strong is the collection of health related publications, especially those dealing with health statistics. A rich collection of publications from the Department of State and the Department of Defense centered on military history supports undergraduate and graduate programs in history and political science. There is also a fair amount of the serial publications of the U.S. Geological Survey.

However, the library does not select judicial materials. Congressional publications are also collected on a highly selective basis.

Library Research Guides for Government Information cover various subjects including congressional research, census, resources in health and medicine, patents, trademarks, scientific maps, and technical reports.
