The University of Wyoming has earned its Research Level 1 (R1) status from the Carnegie
Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, placing Wyoming's only four-year
university among the top research universities in the United States.
The University of Wyoming Libraries has been a Federal Depository Library since 1907. The collection comprises approximately 1.5 million print and microfiche
items in Coe Library and Library Annex, as well as maps, aerial and infrared photographs,
and geological publications housed in the Brinkerhoff Geology Library. The Federal
Document Library Program is changing from physical to digital distribution of government
information; UW Libraries provides access to online publications available from the
Federal Depository Library Program through the library catalog.
