Q. Where can I find the annual report of a U.S. federal government agency?

• Online through the agency's web site
• Orbis, the Yale Library catalog
• Back to late 1990s: Search the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine with the URL of the agency (e.g., "www.ins.gov").
• For reports not found in Orbis, search ProQuest Statistical Abstract.
• 19th century, some early 20th century: Search U.S. Congressional Serial Set; some executive branch agency annual reports were printed in Congressional editions and are included in the Serial Set.
• Catalog of U.S. Government Publications
  Citations found in this catalog can then be searched in Orbis, ProQuest Statistical, or the U.S. Congressional Serial Set to find hard copy or digital copy.Note: Reports of subagencies (bureaus, divisions, etc.) may be included in the annual report of the parent agency (e.g. reports of the Division of Pomology may be published in the annual reports of the Department of Agriculture).
