Federal Government Shutdown

As of midnight, Tuesday, September 30, 2025, the necessary funding to continue Federal Government operations has not been approved by the Congress and the President. The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has shut down until funding is approved.

Under a shutdown, GPO employees may only work on activities directly related to the legislative process and on activities for an orderly shutdown and to protect property and assets.

• GovInfo will continue to process and post congressional materials; existing content will continue to be available.
• The Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP) will be available for searching but will not be updated until the Government reopens. GPO cannot ensure that all PURLs pointing to other Federal agency resources will work during this time, nor can GPO staff fix broken PURLs during this time.
• DiscoverGov will be available for searching, but the Federal Government databases it searches may not be updated until the Government reopens.
• GPO.gov, FDLP.gov, and Ben’s Guide to the U.S. Government will be available but will not be updated until the Government reopens.
• Federal Register services on GovInfo will be limited to documents that protect life and property.
• The U.S. Government Bookstore will be available for searching and placing orders, but orders will not be fulfilled until the Government reopens.

This guide is slowly being combined with the Government Documents Fundamentals Research Guide, moved into other document guides, or moved into newly-created guides.

Notes:

• Free and expanded electronic access for temporary online teaching and learning. During the current period causing library closures, many publishers and library vendors are allowing special access to research databases and materials. Note that some of these will be invisible because they will be added to something we already have, like SAGE Research Methods or JSTOR.
• Relevant highlights (although be sure to check the list for yourself!!): Publication Manual of the APA (6th and the new 7th editions); Paratext U.S. Documents MasterFile.
