Performing Searches

There are three methods to search for government publications in FDsys:

• Simple Search, which can be used to perform simple or complex queries,

• Advanced Search, which can be used to perform queries specifying dates, specifying one or more collections, and specifying up to 5 additional search criteria, and

• Retrieve by Citation, which can be used to retrieve a specific document from a specific collection.

These three search methods can be accessed from the U.S. Government Printing Office Home Page (http://www.gpo.gov) by clicking on the FDsys: GPO's Federal Digital System link in the upper left hand corner. This takes you to the FDsys Home page, which has:

• A Search Box for simple searches,

• An Advanced Search link, and

• A Retrieve by Citation link.
