Compiled by the Federal Law Librarians Special Interest Section
of the Law Librarians' Society of Washington, D.C.

Entries are arranged alphabetically, usually under the primary word in the agency name.
 Many agency libraries have law collections, but are not specifically law libraries.
Unless noted differently data is from 01/2004. Libraries are encourged to send in updates.
The LLSDC Web site has a limit of 2 KB per page so the table is arranged in four parts.
