This page provides information about the types of publications that you will find in the collection.
'Non-governmental' publications included in the collection feature publications related to the work or to the policies of government that are directly relevant to education. These include codes of practice, statistics and research studies produced by government-related bodies and quangos.
As with Government Publications, the Library collects print copies where possible, and these can be found in the Main, Reference or Official Publications collections. You can also access the online version via UCL Explore or through DERA where it is available.
