Retrieve by Citation

Retrieve by Citation can be used to retrieve a single document or portion of a publication in PDF format. When a Retrieve by Citation search is performed, you are taken directly to the target publication in a new window, bypassing the search result screen.

Procedure

Step 1. Click on the Retrieve by Citation link; this brings up the Retrieve by Citation page.

Step 2. Select the Collection.

Step 3. Select or enter the citation information (e.g., volume, page).

Step 4. Click on the Retrieve Document button; the information is displayed in a new window.

Note: The fields used to construct citation searches will vary because citations for individual government documents are formatted differently. Examples of the format used for citation searches are made available in the Collection drop down menu.
